So any idea if they is any plans for Hartlepool depot.  I believe the warehouse and industrial area behind the depot is now mostly empty so they could expand the depot and build a new engineering area if they wanted to which would solve one issue and allow permanent full size buses again.  Something desperately needs to happen and yes I seen for myself yesterday the 4:15 service 1 leaving Middlesbrough was completely full with standing passengers so deckers would help in that regard.
