Rather coincidentally there are 14 gas buses and 14 MX12 reg Pulsars which are part of the 1524-1533 batch at Durham - would make sense for a swap.
The NK64 batch will be used to see off the rest of the Solo's.
When the electric deckers arrive for the 43/44/45 the E400's will go to Durham to replace the rest of the ALX400's
Only swap I could see making sense would be 16** Streetlites to Stockton for more local work in return for Pulsars
This is completely hypothetical but personally I'd do:
64 Plates -> Ashington for 1/2/57/57A
67 Plates -> Redcar for 63
Ashington Pulsars -> Darlington
Ashington Solos -> Withdrawn
Redcar Spares -> Withdrawn
Redcar 59 Plate Temsa's -> Mothballed
Would get arid of the worst of the worst and give the 1, 2 and 63 an upgrade, they're busy routes tbh and all have crap on atm especially the 63. It's about time Darlington get's some of the crap rather than the crap that keeps getting sent up here from them.
