hopefully with service cuts elsewhere in the country, the electrics for Scotland and the E400 MMCs deliveries. SNE could hopefully bag some decent vehicles.

i think starting off with midibuses there's a decent number of number of darts kicking about which I would grab. the decent ones I would put into service and knackered ones use as spares to keep the current north east fleet going. secondly I think Scotland will be displacing some 2010 E200s, while I don't know how reliable they are I would consider bagging these for south shields and hartlepool and as long as reliability is better than what they have currently use these to scrap some of the 08 vehicles for parts. if there's anything from 2013 up to 2022 vehicles I would blag these Aswell
