Reasons:
Allow service's 30 and X20 to be allocated the E300s.
Spare E300 for Economics.
So, unless Stockton find a way to replace them there stuck there.
The 30 and X20 are allocated E200's, 30 interworking with the 10/11 and using the Integral's ( 364**/37143-44/373** )'s and the X20 using MAN 18.240 chassied E200's ( 397** )
However the MAN's on the X20 were quickly removed and placed on 17 and 18's which I believe was due to most boards having a shorter working day than on 10/11/30/X20's, Aswell as the MAN's being way overpowered for the job which of course makes them drink more fuel, Aswell as them having smaller Fuel Tank's than the Integral's.
E300's these days tend to stick to only the E1/2/6, With one of the MAN E200's thrown in on a shorter board, Aswell as the Summer extra board which utilises whichever E400 is not on X34's.
Integral E200's are now allocated to all boards of the 10/11 and 30 aswell as the X20.
