They hasn’t been any buses here since 2008. The darts that came from Sunderland in 2015 some of them seemed knackered and gone after 2 years replaced by enviros from Shields some of which seem to constantly have problems then the further enviros in 2018. Hartlepool is crying out for new buses or at least better ones half the fleet seems knackered so Stockton in comparison has not done to bad really.
bearing in mind what slatyford was getting landed with, the kinetics meant to oust ALX300s which ended up outliving them, the 08 E300s which required a lot of work for the "flagship" 100, apart from the 2016 400 MMCs which were shared with walkergate and the 66 plate MMCs to oust some more of the ALX300s. Stockton has on average received more vehicles from new
