Arriva Darlington is affected aswell and the refurbishment there has just abruptly ended there after the rumours starting coming about so seems there's something in it.i wonder if this is where the rumors of the older E400s sticking around are coming from, instead of Stockton receiving them Sunderland get them to replace the affected gas buses,
would make sense until guaranteed replacements are found and procured, mind you with some of the walkergate hybrids falling apart SNE are rapidly losing buses.
am I right in thinking there's 26 hybrids and 40 gas buses. If so these in addition to the older vehicles that will need replacement is likely to take a herculean effort and amount of investment
