(21 Oct 2024, 9:20 pm)Michael wrote Sunderland's are arriving now, hopefully in service soon however they're being stored at Stockton until the depot is sorted (looks like the depot shed is almost down).
There's a couple at Sunderland though, 1's been out and about - likely driver training so drivers are ready to go once they enter service.
Hopefully the chargers are easy and quick to install.

Apparently Slatyfords are now going to Stockton due to problems with the depot however i'm not sure if those have been ordered yet but they're like to bevYutongs like Sunderlands.
I'm not sure if thats correct for Stockton and Slatyford though.
So slight update with regards to the electric buses going to Slatyford. Speaking to a shunter today work is booked in for March 2025 to demolish and rebuild Slatyford depot. The plan is to turn the whole depot around so vehicles will most likely face the other direction this way it is classed as industrial rather than residential (don’t ask how I have no idea) but this way they can keep the roof off. But Slatyford are unlikely to get electric buses until late 2025 early 2026. It’s unclear as to what will happen to the ones for Slatyford but seems Stockton will still only receive the 40 and keep the 262’s.
