I can't help but think it would make sense where possible to standardise each depot in the short term so all remaining E300 at Stockton darts at Hartlepool for example.  At the moment it does seem Hartlepool are managing with the buses already here but with how unreliable they are I think having a dart and E300 as reserve wouldn't be a bad thing.

Look at the poster above, that's all I'm going to say.

Is there enough buses around for spares now? I know Stagecoach have contracted out some work out to GNE (was mentioned yesterday) so it seems they're in a pretty desperate place. Can't imagine contracting to your main competitor would be a first resort.
