Slatyford are no longer getting electric buses it is too much of a hassle to get the infrastructure at Slatyford depot being an old depot. Slatyford’s 18 electric buses will now go to Stockton along with the 40 they were already getting.
Slatyford will be keeping the 09 plated 24101-24115 over the 64/65 plate 27’s as the 24’s have a Euro 6 engine and the 27’s are just scraping through the CAZ requirements. Stocktons 262’s will go to Slatyford to replace the 27’s since they’re getting the electrics that were meant for Slatyford.
That’s not how government funding works. They can’t just transfer buses to a completely different area without the express permission of central government. It’s not even in the same mayoral authority!
