Today Stockton had 4 spare buses sat in the depot doing nothing, my guess is they don’t need it so allowing Slatyford to keep it. It’s still being used for training at the moment but the Tees Valley branding has been removed for the North East Combined Authority branding

Ok mate

73053,6 go some point back to the really home at some point buses at stockton depot will stockton need more yutongs then or not?

That will entirely depend on the outcome of the TVCA contracts in March/April. Stockton run a PVR of 14/15 (not including Flex…) on contract services for them so there’s a good chance they won’t retain all of it - indeed prices will probably go up to justify keeping new electric vehicles!?
