I’m going to assume once the electrics come the 241’s will be withdrawn but god knows when or if we’ll ever get the electric buses.
With regards to the double deckers it makes sense Hartlepool getting some as the 1 is very busy but they’ll more than likely head back to Newcastle.
Unless my maths is just wrong again. If Slatyford get all the Sunderland E300's and the Stockton MMC's then that's 27 vehicles in and there's only 17 E300's to go out so would assume there's something else to go out aswell.
Those MAN's would seem the obvious choice though.
The 64/65 Plate E300's would be the obvious Gas bus replacement since their slightly newer. Would be unfair to replace the gas buses with older vehicles and downgrade routes but who knows.
