(Yesterday, 12:40 pm)Storx wrote Yeah that's fair, had a feeling that might have been the case, guessing it's the Ashington vehicles which will be replacing stuff instead then, rather than electrics as it doesn't work otherwise. 

I'm going to put this out there and guess that something is going to end up at Whitby for the X93/X94 (no doubt ex Ashington) with the B9TL's heading elsewhere, probably Durham if the MMC's are all heading to Darlington since something is needed there as having newer buses on the P&R doesn't make sense?

Durham will gain 1430 and 1432 from reserve 'short term' should the P&R be retained. It's all in black and white on the fleet card.

Durham are also due electrics for the 48/X46 and 64 don't forget - along with the 21 single decker examples for Darlington's town network (apart from the tendered 16 17 and 18 - the 16 wasn't operated when the bid change happened, the 17 is linked to the out-of-town 8/8A, and electric operation on the 18 is not possible due to the railway bridge in Albert Hill), which will see 7514-6/8-21 all withdrawn alongside older Pulsars, as well as reportedly releasing the majority of the E200MMCs for cascade, likely to Yorkshire, with at least 2 being retained mainly for the 18 but also to be used on the Dalesbus contract.
