Am sad to see the Alexander man 220xxs go but since some are 19 - 20 years old and been trundling around an area covering Hartlepool to Hemlington on any giving day it’s understandable why they the priority.  While the Manviros I think the worse have been took out of service and 39663 and 39668 and probably one of 39658 or 39660 could probably still do a few more years in service yet as other than the 1 they only covering a small area but I do expect something most like more cascades will eventually come in to replace them within the next 2 years as 39605 really only has a year or 2 left in service as well.

What would you suggest Stagecoach bring in to Hartlepool then but the Manviro 200 are going to have to go at at some point and the ADL enviro 200 have hardly been successful so what do you suggest ?
