it's not ideal, however I usually see plenty of E300s on the 36-37-38 so the downgrade isn't going to really hit the normal commuter.
I'm not on about the investment i understand about the covid situation but, I just would have thought that it would have made sense after Stockton had the 2014/2015 E300s delivered and then the 2016 MMCs went to slatyford it would make sense for the 2019 MMCs to be delivered to slatyford especially as CAZ was getting talked about when i worked at slatyford in 2013-2014.
from a fleet management point of view i would have thought it simpler to group vehicle types together
