unless they are using the new decker's to replace ALXs which i don't think they are because the older decker's need to be replaced then no they still need to exchange Stockton's MMCs

Well looking at the allocations the 5 at Walkergate seem to be bailing out the unreliable deckers so assume those will be directly replaced by the new order.

Which leaves the 8 at Slatyford and I'm sure there's been more; 22885, 22887, 22889, 22890, 24116, 24117, 24119 - 24123 and 24169 isn't it? They'll all be able to get Euro 6 Mod's like the ones they've already got there otherwise they need to move out either way, send them instead of ALX's? Not to mention there's been service reductions on the 6/7/8/30/31/36/71 which in theory should've released a few singles - not sure if anything has been replaced by them already though.

Not to mention the fact Walkergate currently has 14 single decker's, excluding the MAN's, to operate a PVR 4 on the 317, I don't believe there's any other single decker routes there - correct me if I'm wrong.

It's very close either way and if anything it'll be roughly 3 buses, seems a waste sending up Stockton's new buses for that.
