24003, 34605, 35189, 39672, 39706 arrived at Stockton to help out with duplicates next week.
19179 transferred to Slatyford after repaint
Likely be more transfers over the next week or two as requirements change and services get moved around.

(29 Aug 2020, 12:17 am)glen What are them buses come to Stockton for I don't know what you meanThey’re to operate duplicates on commercial routes where lots of school children board. If you operate a bus purely for school children you can fill it upto capacity (65+ on an E300) whereas in ‘normal’ service you’d be limited to 20 or so. All depots will be doing this.

(29 Aug 2020, 7:58 am)Rob44 I read something regard what Tyresmoke said above but its regarding London. The public can now just get on every other bus??? and the one they cant use of for school kids only and can be full to capacity.Yes I think TfL have realised they don't have the resources to duplicate every school flow on their network so they're taking from the existing service by closing some buses for school children only. On frequent routes it probably won't be too much of an issue, as I believe passenger levels in London aren't returning as fast as other areas? I understand Stagecoach West Ham have been given a number of 'provincial' vehicles to help operate duplicates though, including E200s and Solos.

(31 Aug 2020, 7:02 pm)tyresmoke A lot of the previously withdrawn fleet have had machines reinstated today. 19204, 22018, 22026, 22063, 22064, 27506, 27507, 27509, 27510 all active again at Stockton.Good news then. Might be an idea to send a few to Hartlepool as the 7 has got busy again over the last few weeks and with the schools going back along with the fair at the Headland then I can see it been very busy this week as well.

(01 Sep 2020, 9:59 am)Kuyoyo Stockton need them for the return to normal weekday PVR as of this morning. 22062 however appears to be at Hartlepool to work a duplicate 1 trip from Seaton Carew to High Tunstall and return (0817 off Seaton Carew, 0911 return).
19204/5 have also re-entered service at Stockton this morning having been parked up for a few weeks - 19204 worked a duplicate trip on the 10 into Middlesbrough this morning while 19205 duplicated a 12 from the Parkway Centre into Middlesbrough.
In terms of the other cascades:
24003 is out on 38 on ad-hoc dupes having duplicated the 0751 from Middlesbrough this morning
34605 duplicated the 0814 39 from Middlesbrough to Park End and the 0836 return
35189 duplicated the 0809 61 and the 0845 59 from Stockton to North Tees Hospital
39706 also duplicated a 12 from the Parkway Centre at 0817
39710 duplicated a 52 from Low Grange to Stockton at 0826
39672 appears to be out presently duplicating a 12
24002 and 39674 haven't been used today
