For Stockton do the same with the 5/5A/X12 then use all the Streetlites and newest Pulsars doing the rest of the network.
Perfectly fine for a few more years unless there's some more electric money being thrown around which they could easily bid for the likes of the 8/9 to see off all the Pulsars. The Volvo's imo are overkill for anything else at Stockton and the 63 too.
Do Stockton have any X66 boards these days? They'd arguably be perfect for that too.
I notice a post on Facebook today where comments from employees are indicating that the remaining B7TLs will be withdrawn within a few weeks. I've also heard on the grapevine that the Darlington E300s (1351-6) are not long for this world.
