The only white displays in Newcastle are the 2nd batch of E40D MMCs

Stockton’s drivers have been briefed regarding the cascade of Newcastle’s MAN ALX300s in exchange for Stockton’s Enviro200MMCs, which has been discussed on this very forum. And as you were told by a number of Stagecoach drivers on Facebook, no swap between South Shields and Newcastle is planned.

That's Stockton's loss short term, but puts them at the front when capital expenditure identifies the MAN as life expired. The E200 situation was one commented on after a conversation with a manager, I did see anything from drivers on the subject. If things changed, then fair play, but the conversation about the E200s was based on what happens for services 8, 32/32A and 35.
