As for when Redcar's Streetlites are going for refurbishment - no idea, Stockton's last pair 1557/9 are still away.

As for new stock, nothing concrete at present but there's hope there might be investment in the stronger areas of the region next year (and for anyone disputing that - Durham County is the side which has constantly turned a profit for the last decade, unlike Northumbria, and the side which has depots who are now at 100% plus passenger loadings post-Covid).
