And there won't be on any Stockton work routes
There be on the 63 65 64s as intended E200MMCs 18 of them
Been told 1496 1502 will be sent to Whitby depo
7596 97 will permanent be at Whitby including winter time tables incase they are in need of a replacement incase of a brake down
2 deckers will also be on the 63 65 for school work
X4s will be Evoras as intended as lites aren't sutble for the route
X3 x2 62 will be pulsars or possibly a E200MMC

If there are two deckers going on the 63/64/65 circuit then how can they all be based at Whitby? Explain how you’d get Whitby drivers to operate those without a huge cost.
With two boards being DD operated I think we all know the two spare E200s will go elsewhere, and will end up on a mix of work. I’d assume the X4 fleet will probably rotate as they do now without a fixed allocation.

The spare deckers 7578 79 80 81
Obviously two will more than likely go to Ashington like always for The winter period that's where the other 2 would fit in to the 63 65 cycle for the schoolars
7726 31 will be allocated to the x93s as by then the b9s should be at Ashington by then
U normally also get two deckers on the 62s so I wouldn't be surprised if that's 7598.99 during the winter months

I have it on authority from people in positions within the company where the decisions are made (and very likely Tyresmoke has similar information), that the deckers for the 63 are 7596 and 7597 - not to say of course once the X94 and Park & Ride finishes for the winter, others appear on there. With the clearance to use the deckers on 63 boards (naturally except those that work any X2 X3 or X4A trips), the likelihood of deckers appearing on the 62 will probably be minimum if ever.

The last information I heard was similar as that posted above by Olympian - another infrastructure issue has delayed the roll out again.

Sounds like this is an issue for a lot of companies, not just bus companies. I can understand why a lot of people are reluctant to go electric when the infrastructure is clearly so far behind schedule and not enough investment or available companies to do the work quickly.
