Stockton gain E400s during Covid19

Stockton gain E400s during Covid19

Stockton gain E400s during Covid19
E400MMC 11288 (39/40 branded) & 11299 (albino) have gone on loan from Walkergate to Stockton to help with extra capacity during the Covid19 situation.
E200MMC 26286 (36/37/38 branded) has gone from Stockton to Walkergate though unsure if it will be used - it transferred up this morning after working 5197.
I'm told two E400 have transferred from Walkergate to Slatyford too but unsure which as yet.

RE: Stockton gain E400s during Covid19
None of Stockton's E200MMCs went in exchange - 26286 did make the trip to Walkergate on Wednesday but it appears to have been used to transport Stockton staff to collect the E400MMCs. It was back and on the afternoon 5197 on Wednesday.
RE: Stockton gain E400s during Covid19
Thanks for that that. Thought it odd when I read the original post. Those E400MMC deckers are hellish vehicles. A shame we can't have more of them down here in Teeside. I guess when things return to normal passenger levels will dictate otherwise.
RE: Stockton gain E400s during Covid19
11288/99 remain at Stockton today
19204/5/383 have re-entered service - 19204/383 are out on 36/37/38/39/12 and 19205 has worked the SL6 this morning and could possibly end up out on 12/39/36/37/38 later. 19211 is also now outside in the yard however it's parked nose-in.

EDIT
Allocation
11288 is on the 36/37/38 board that ends up spending the night on 12/14/39
11299 is out on the board that does late 37s and the last trip and a half of 39s
19204 is out until nearly midnight on 36s
19383 spends the day working 36/37/38/12/39 and finishes in Middlesbrough at 10 to 6 this afternoon

Not sure, Bustimes.org, is only tracking the Sunderland services atm, and then half of the services isn't tracking properly - and the whole fleet list has been removed so can't track the buses that way too.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
RE: Stockton gain E400s during Covid19
Has Stockton acquired more deckers from Newcastle ? Talking with one of the drivers while he laid over at Cleveland Centre and he said another 5 had arrived, in readiness for the next timetable changes.
