It's a mess, but it was always going to happen as you can't regulate it at all when they shut Chester Le Street without any real though. Just another cost cutting exercise.
Mind the DB300 and Streetdeck or SB200 and Streetlite aren't comparable, two completely different vehicles.
It's a good job they aren't planning to introduce some complicated electric stock onto the 21 with not much infrastructure on the route to support it...
