One of the drivers told me today they still not ready so the long enviros and man’s might be getting another month or 2 yet. Apparently they are still getting the chargers sorted and even then you would think it will be common sense to keep some diesels in a reserve capacity.

At least 4 of the 64 plate e300’s are destined for South Shields to see off the pointer darts still in service. Hartlepool will likely receive displaced e200s from across the region when the electrics have seen off the e300s to there respective depots
yes as usual Hartlepool gets the knackered buses from elsewhere, instead of them actually investing in the depot.
