It would make sense since there are 13 ALX300's at stockton, it is reported that it's likely the 8? E400's are coming likely to replace (I'm guessing 8) ALX300's, and since the ALX400's are leaving Stockton it would technically mean they need some more cover buses (as they are used as spares) the 8 Kinetics along with the E400's would bring a 16 buses. Which should be enough cover for Stockton.

If everything is correct, it would mean that the e400's would all be out, 5 Kinetics would be on service 13 allowing 3 Kinetics spare to perhaps swap with the e400's when some routes don't need them.

It would also make sense as it means Teesside buses won't need upgrading for some years (oldest bus being 9/10 years old), unless they wanted to put more deckers into the area.
