That way Stockton has a Extra Couple of Euro 6 Vehicles for the X12 and Darlington has some more reliable 61 Plates just in case the E300's all start have major issues due to their age. I always thought it would be beneficial to both Depots. Just a thought. Also brings the older buses to Stockton / Redcar Area to make it more appealing to get a new big batch of vehicles in the future.
None of those Pulsars you’ve listed at Darlington are Euro6 - indeed when Stockton had 1411 it was used on a Newcastle X12 one Saturday and that resulted in a fine.
Stockton only require 3 Euro6 vehicles Monday to Friday and 4 on Saturdays - as that’s the amount of X12 boards Stockton run to Newcastle. If the Pulsars are problematic then the Streetlites can be used.
