I'd personally love for Walkergate to have Yutong's, but only if we had enough double deckers to begin with.
With them being allocated for the 30s, another option would be to operate the 30/31/36s from Walkergate temoparily.
The only issue with temporarily operating the 30/31/36 services from Walkergate is yes drivers could technically still get their breaks at Slatyford depot but any driver that has to take a bus out on a morning or return a bus from/to Walkergate depot would be required to be paid an extra 2 hours for travel so that wouldn’t be very good financially.
