Ironic as one of Carlisle's E200MMC's is heading over to Newcastle right now but doubt it'll be swapped out today - if they do.

(26 Jun 2025, 7:10 am)Storx wrote In fairness, they don't need to sort the pits out. There's still loads of vehicles they can purchase which are 10.9m or below. I wouldn't really say getting 64/65 Plate E300's which are 10/11 year old is exactly what Hartlepool wants anyway as they're the definition of a cast off.

73164 has also entered service this morning - it’s presently tracking on Bus Times as 27507 pending the reallocation of the baseplate.
