Mechanically they may be sound but for someone who rarely travels on Stagecoach and ended up on one the other day they really shouldn't be in service. They're 17 year old and are showing it.4/3 should be upgraded aswell.
Arriva get slated for fleet presentation but their worse than anything they've got.
ie.
Sunderland:
Long Enviro 200 MMC for E1/E2/E6 displace 11 plates to Newcastle to withdraw ALX300's (some have E6 mods already and others can be done).
Midi Enviro 200 MMC for 23/10/11 withdraw MANviros and displaced Enviro 200 to Hartlepool
Hartlepool:
Midi Enviro 200 MMC for 1 withdraw MANviros
South Shields:
Midi Enviro 200 MMC for 10/11/12 withdraw MANviros and Darts
You've removed the actual problematic buses in the North East rather than sending crap to Stockton.
Pretty sure someone mentioned that Stagecoach's goal might still be to turn sunderland all gas using Scania Fencer range
