I've never seen anything concrete saying that or I've missed it if it's been said.
Not sure what they really need them for since they're getting their own electrics soon which will displace the oldest singles out.
Sunderland seems the more wise choice on paper to replace the remaining gas buses. The routes they run on 3, 4, 20 etc are strong routes and the fact 4 of the E buses have moved out would suggest these aren't seeing the rest out.
I don’t think it has been confirmed about Slatyford getting the E200mmcs from Stockton just rumours I’m guessing. But myself being a driver at Slatyford I was told by engineers that the company want rid of the E300’s 271’s and 272’s from Newcastle as they’re only Euro 5 with Euro 6 exhausts and just scraping through the emission requirements for the clean air zone. Plus I was hoping something would replace them awful 241’s haha.
27726 is at Walkergate from Sunderland so I’m not sure what the plan is with Sunderland’s gas buses etc.
