What happens with 19678 19680 19681 is currently unknown - it is known within the depots that Hartlepool's management have put a request in for deckers for the 1s as the afternoon peak journeys from Middlesbrough are leaving the Bus Station full and standing.
Would be great for 19678 19680 and 19681 to go to Hartlepool but I just have that feeling they’ll be going back to Newcastle. Unsure if it’d be Slatyford or Walkergate though.
