Stockton are required to retain the MMCs due to an arrangement with the Tees Valley Combined Authority for a 20% pledge of Euro6 vehicles operating in the Tees Valley between Stagecoach and Arriva.
The MAN E200s are down to be replaced as and when their MOTs expire - providing replacements can be found. Given 34605 has now been repaired and repainted, likely to see another Hartlepool example withdrawn in the new year.

Or just E300 and alx300 buses.I'm tempted to say no, although when the new deliveries start arriving it will be interesting to see what happens, i do think Stockton could benefit from decker's but not at the expense of the real moneymakers in Newcastle,
