When Stockton's 17 new ADL E300s enter service all of the non-DDA single deckers will be replaced including five DDA-compliant vehicles. Three 64-plate ADL E300s could be transferred to South Shields for the X20 when the X34 is increased to 20 minutes.
You really think Stockton will give up 3 64-reg E300s!? Considering at present, we have just 2 spares (36/37/38 is PVR 16 aka the full branded batch, and 52/35 is 7 leaving 2 unbranded ones spares), we'll be down to just 1 to cover what is likely to be 5 routes (36/37/38 PVR 16, 52/35 PVR 7, 58/35 PVR 4, 59/61 PVR 6 and likely 10/11 PVR 5).
