To be fair most of them won't be on, it was more about cleaning where things are rather than having microfleets all over the place.
Arriva badly imo need to try and decide who has what rather than microfleets all over the place. There's no need for Streetlite's at 4 depots. Durham and Ashington imo should be converted to full Streetlite single decker operation with their Pulsars moved out, there's barely any at either now anyway.
That's Ashington and Durham both sorted for fleet investment for years, with all the 12/13/63 Pulsars heading to Darlington and again sorting them out for awhile. You could put some older ones on the 2 as there's electrics planned for that in the future.
Means then all the investment can be focused on Stockton and Redcar who both probably deserve some as they've got some strong routes and the fleet is like a heritage fleet at both ie. massive order at Stockton to replace all the 09/59 Plates which are all now allocated there. Well and they're not affected by franchising like the Northern depots.
