(Yesterday, 7:43 am)Mark66t wrote Actually what u been told is probably incorrect why would Darlington want a odd ball vehicle there when there don't have a few ?
Understand Darlington are expected to receive some new town buses which as been mentioned on fb and few weeks ago e200mmc may be transferred to Arriva Yorkshire
Incorrect - 2841 is due to transfer back to Darlington to operate the 16 when that contract passes from Stagecoach to Arriva at the end of the month. There isn't enough E200s to operate that and the present town network.
Darlington will be gaining the electric vehicles for the town network (bar the 17, which interworks with the 8, and the 18 as any electric vehicle will be unable to fit under the Railway Bridge at Albert Hill) sometime next year - understand it will be 7 full-size singles for the 2 and the remaining examples midibus-size for the rest of the town network.
