There are also rumours of streetlites from Sheffield depot moving to Hartlepool although it’s probably unlikely.
Stagecoach seem to like 'expanding' the area covered by their ticketing, using funded services such as North Tyneside (10/11/317/54) and UTC contracts now with 59 for County Durham. They are not really considering doing anything for growth besides new X24 Sunday Journey's (Which imo should include the X34 and they can inter-work them to reduce costs)
Its unlikely the rumours of the streetlites are true 1) due to the age they are 18 plates so surely they would cascade older vehicles...however if it is true there are 19 Stagecoach Streetlites. Does anyone have the full PVR requirement for Hartlepool Depot? I am unsure with the frequency reductions whether or not it is above or below that...?
Final note this is probably never going to happen because it is SNE and Hartlepool, probably mass cascades like Stockton gained.
