10633/7 on loan to Sunderland hence 27736/9 being at Walkergate in exchange (Slatyford also have 19387 on loan to Sunderland).
The spare allocation for the 317, even in the days of using the MANs on it, was 2 - originally 24101-7 were at Walkergate before swapping over for 36094/468/960-4 before the recent swap of 36094 to Hartlepool (to reunite the 59 plates at one depot) for 36467. The issue is the need for deckers at other depots in the region now (officially Stockton are meant to be using the deckers on the Sedgefield College runs and the UTC runs, however due to the reduction on the 34, one 10/34 board now has to be allocated a decker or one of the 275xxs should only one of the deckers be available to cope with the demand on the first 34 trip on the board) and not enough to go around.........
