Theres a 15 Year Old limit so they won't be permitted to operate on there. I would assume that 2 of the bad Hill Climbing / bad performing Eclipse Gemini 2's will be designated Park and Ride Duties. However, I think we will see MMC's on there from time to time. Basically what Arriva decide on what they want to throw on there on the day.

Would have been nice to see 7609 and 7610 to transfer back to Northumbria with the rest of the DB300's and they send maybe older E400MMC's like 7551 and 7552 for Park and Ride Services. Just so that Redcar don't have 2 random DB300's staying there. With Arriva now trying to cascade oddball vehicles and getting Depots to have the same sort of vehicle type, this would probs help Redcar a little in my personal opinion. It would also mean Northumbria can get 2 brand new vehicles when the DB's get withdrawn.
