The Electric buses for the E services at Wheatsheaf are nowhere in sight, and they've lost an E400 due to a scholars board moving to Newcastle.
By withdrawing all 26 E400EH and replacing them with 25 E400MMC plus the enlarged PVR for 37/38, 62/63 the deficit grows even more. Which added to Scholars contracts means more single deckers on heavy routes in both crush periods of the day.
Overall added to service reductions, it's not looking great going forward.
I'd imagine that they'll still be getting withdrawn though in the short term as the cost of the modifications will outweigh keeping them in service, similar to what happened at Darlington.
Let's be honest though there wasn't really 26 E400EH as half of them were broken most the time, in reality.
There'll be no doubt something in mind, what - who knows. There's some E300's at Inverness which should be coming free soon though and we've got the rest so no doubt that'll be part of it.
