It's been stated many times - Stockton can't have an allocation of Double Deckers as they cannot be maintained on the lifts inside the main shed due to the roof beams.
As for deckers in the yard, yes Stockton is one of the depot that undertakes MOTs on vehicles hence these sighting.
As for the 21a, the East Durham College contract should see it used more (I'll be surprised if there isn't another change on there before the year is over to add an extra journey or two) plus, as hinted elsewhere on the forum, it will be upgraded to Pulsar operation with 4652/4/8 going for MAX refurbishment for Darlington.
