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.
It's confirmed - that's what the staff at Stockton have been told. No doubt Sunderland may end up with the displaced 27s from Slatyford.
Also of note is that 27726 is presently tracking on the 22 in Newcastle - potentially displaced by the Yutongs to possible release 37312 for cascade, given it's an oddball at Walkergate and there's Darts that require replacements (or 39s at South Shields).
