Also, there gonna run the Yutongs on the 1 and 2 Service? I'm guessing they're good at hill climbing. Also, I would imagine some of then Stocktons left over vehicles (mainly E300's) will be displacing Hartlepools Darts and E200s? Apologies for a lot of questions as I don't really know about alot of Stagecoachs plans. Just seems quite odd they would make Stockton ALL electric before anywhere else.
They were awarded funding for 40 buses, which is about 2 thirds of Stockton's fleet. So they basically just decided it made sense to go all electric.
