Unsure of any exact plans, other than there's only due to be 7? full size singles for electrics, the rest I think will be smaller which would displace the 14* E200MMCs. Darlington is due to get the E400MMCs from Belmont (likely 12 if Arriva retain the Whitby Park & Ride next year), so unless anything else moves in, that's only 19 buses and Darlington currently have 40 full size single deckers (23 Pulsars and 17 StreetLite's), I imagine 11 of those Pulsars will be withdrawn (the 09/59/10 plates) so certainly some of either the remaining Pulsars / StreetLite's or a mix of both types will still be required at Darlington.
* there was a suggestion previously that 2 E200MMCs may be retained at Darlington for the 16, 18 & Dalesbus services.
