Like you'd think something like
7x 64 Plate E300's / 8x 65 Plate E200's to Carlisle
7x E200MMC's Carlisle to Slatyford
8x Older Vehicles Carlisle Withdrawn
Would be better, means Carlisle loses their microfleet of vehicles for Slatyfords gain since the E200's are totally inappropiate on the 70's etc which they're doing daily now which would be good enough for Carlisle and their local services.
But Carlisle aren't getting all of the E300s heading that way from Stockton - they're are being split between Carlisle and Morecambe, replacing older E200s at Carlisle and MANs at Morecambe.
In other news, the first vehicle to move out of Stockton to another depot as a result of the Yutongs entering service is 36970 which is use at Hartlepool on 3s today.
