And Redcar shouldn't be short - they have the second largest amount of spare vehicles for their PVR of the Durham County operation (Durham has the largest at present) of 8 for a PVR of 50 meanwhile Stockton have to struggle with just 7 spare vehicles for a PVR of 63.

The issue here is well known - Redcar have a shortage of engineers so that's the struggle at present. 

If there's a shortage of engineers to put right the knackered vehicles (and therefore maintain the PVR), then I am struggling to understand why they would make the fleet smaller. 
Surely the opposite needs to happen, at least temporarily?
