The gap between standard and more luxurious passenger spec has been narrowing, meaning that passengers expect such additions as standard. Stagecoach just took a while to build on their standard spec!

Reasons:
Allow service's 30 and X20 to be allocated the E300s.
Spare E300 for Economics.
So, unless Stockton find a way to replace them there stuck there.

(10 Sep 2017, 8:23 pm)Kuyoyo They aren't going anywhere from Stockton. Stockton's PVR didn't change with last month's changes - so all vehicles at Stockton are needed.
If anything, the fact there was no change to Stockton's PVR, would hopefully see Stockton's remaining MAN/ALX300s replaced before too long............

The back end was filthy and initially, it looked like smoke damage.
As I got closer, it looked like muck - rather than smoke.
