They should go on a service which needs them, mostly Newcastle services.

Even the E1/2/6 but it seems unlikely as they're only really busy during Spring/Summer.

I remember when the Stagecoach in Cumbria's Carlisle-based Enviro 200s were moved, original rumours dictated they'd all be moved to other Cumbria & North Lancashire depots (ie Lancaster, Kendal etc) however they eventually went to Plymouth - a bit of a jump!!

Will this be the case for the Newcastle E400s or is the situation somewhat fluid at the moment?

I assume that the Pointer Dart, looking more ready for the scrapyard, is 34401. I won't be surprised if it is being used for "component recovery" or for training purposes.

Shall we begin the guessing game of which depot gets the delights........

(13 May 2016, 6:11 pm)Michael wrote Doubt it would be Sunderland, Newcastle or Shields, so it'll likely to be Stockton or Hartlepool.
