While it be nice to see deckers back in Hartlepool I don’t think getting stock that 20 year old is the best idea either the fleet ideally needs buses that are less than 5 year old and in good condition which is part of the problem now the youngest buses in the fleet are 12 years old the oldest is 19 it’s not just a few either it’s the main fleet which is the problem.
failing that could Stockton and hartlepool not grab some of the 2003/2004 ALX400s that are becoming available this year, there's loads of vehicles and plenty of spares to keep them going. source of spares for the ALX300s aswell
