(Yesterday, 5:16 pm)Teessider2014 wrote Stockton weren’t allowed to bid for electric vehicles due to being ‘too close to the river’ apparently and Redcar turning them down for the 63 due to ‘range issues’ just stinks of excuses

Any Zebra 2 bids require DFT approval to make changes to what was originally planned. Arriva would have therefore had to evidence the range issue in order for DFT to accept it. DFT did accept it. Tells you all you need to know really. But we all love a conspiracy, don't we?
