19680 has a dual role at Hartlepool - the trip it works on the 1 into Middlesbrough on a morning has been identified as one of the busier trips, however it sits on the front of the all night 1 working. In addition, it is to act as back-up to Stockton's electric decker (presently 80000, soon to be Yutong 83000), being used for the Sedgefield School run when that is off for inspection.
As for 'unsuitable', unfortunately they are the only Euro6 vehicles in the fleet - and other areas require deckers more.
