Equally, I can't see the sense in increasing the spare vehicle percentage at South Shields if additional spare vehicles are not required?
It would make sense in my eyes to have two spare ADL Enviro400s replacing two spare ADL Enviro300s on the 'E' group of services (27723/24), with these in turn replacing the aforementioned MAN E200 and ALX300..? We see Arriva and Go North East replacing single-deck spares with double-deck spares regularly, so I can't see why Stagecoach couldn't do this.
