Stockton are required to retain the MMCs due to an arrangement with the Tees Valley Combined Authority for a 20% pledge of Euro6 vehicles operating in the Tees Valley between Stagecoach and Arriva.


The MAN E200s are down to be replaced as and when their MOTs expire - providing replacements can be found. Given 34605 has now been repaired and repainted, likely to see another Hartlepool example withdrawn in the new year.

Surely all the 64/65 plates can't be going? There seems to be way too many for what's needed up there unless something is planned to be downgraded to single decker.

Without working it out the X47/X77/X78/X79/X82/X87 is only a PVR of 10 or so which they in theory should be going on.
