Currently, I do not think that franchising is on the cards around there as opposed to Newcastle, so maybe that has a bearing on why Stagecoach have decided to plow their money into Stockton rather than Newcastle
Surely it's more that they won ZEBRA funding for Stockton to get the electric buses whereas they have barely got anything in the NECA areas.
I don't believe a single electric bus has been bought outright, so far, outside of London.
Newcastle has had a lot of investment lately imo, even Slatyford with the massive E200MMC order not that long ago. Now Hartlepool and South Shields are a different ball game.
