Nothing concrete received myself, but suggestion is that's the case to replace their older MANs. 
They could have done with being shifted out the Group if I'm honest. Good for capacity if nothing else.

Id have probably kept them at Slatyford if I'm honest and put them on the X87/X88s along with the E400s. I know there not the most reliable at the minute as they seem to be frequently off the road but atleast Slatyford's engineers are familiar with them and their faults.

Very true Dan, Stockton have their newer Cummins E300 so should be fine fettling them. They've had a hard life simply going back and forth, so hopefully they get completely overhauled if they want them to stick around for another 4 or 5 years. I do have a soft spot for them, even though they've seen better days.

Preparations For Adverse Winter Weather

04 Nov 2016

Dear Customer,

Whilst our dedicated teams of skilled drivers and control room staff will endeavour to operate all buses on time and to all
destinations, it is nonetheless likely that some buses may be delayed as a result of slow-moving traffic and general road
conditions, and some journeys may be required to terminate before their normal end points.

To ensure safety is maintained, some buses might be unable to use some estate roads if conditions are especially poor. If this does occur, customers are recommended to use the nearest bus stops on the main road.

All customers should allow for extra time in their journeys during this time.

Working with our colleagues from the local authority, we will endeavour to keep any disruption to a minimum. However, we would like to apologise for any problems that may be experienced whilst travelling at this time.

Safety remains our absolute priority, and we will continue to assess road conditions to ensure the safety of our passengers, staff and other road users.

Thank you for your patience.

Not sure if it has been noted but at least 4 of the MANetics (MAN 18:240 / ELC Kinetics) have seen use from Slatyford depot.

Today I travelled on 22512 on the 30 and this also features E-Leather seating. Also noted 22513 on the 10/11 circuit today.

Also seen over the past week was 22514 and 22515 on hte 87/88.
