Not saying this will happen at Stanley, but it wouldn't surprise me if not all of the withdrawn vehicles were replaced.This is true, I just fear for the allocations and even trips not being run (I've had an X31 not turn up before).
I was talking to some drivers who gave me some insight into their jobs, but also mentioned that there was a decent attempt to merge CLS/Stanley a few years back. Not entirely relevant but sure won't help to keep things on track if they have to send replacements out of CLS up to Consett/Stanley if this ever does go ahead in the future.
