Presumably there must be Euro 6 cascades on the cards following new deliveries to other opcos, which the council are allowing them to take into account?
The 11 plate Enviro 300's from Sunderland maybe displaced from the electric order? Depending how long it takes. They're all Euro 6.

Drivers cant be found to do transfers when services still get cancelled due to lack of drivers. A more sensible approach at the moment would be to use the Wheatsheaf as a mid point, for example, Stockton driver brings say 27246 up for repaint, takes 22887 back, 27244 also needs paint as does 22889.
I can't see it personally. It's a complete invalid excuse. They've had 24 months at least to move them - I'd be fining them personally.
