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.

Will Sunderland gain any extra deckers?

Ah, could end up with a few on loan, sure they have more seats then the E200's in service at Sunderland? shame its not deckers though... we could need them, even more so a day like today!
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

26286 back on its regular stomping ground. Was running on service 13 today. Shame we aren't going to be able to hang onto the E400 deckers.
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.

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.
