Slatyford is having the shed knocked down this year to install the chargers which will allow for the rest of the 18 Yutong E12’s to enter service on the 30/31/36 and should be some brand new ones as 73191-73194 went to rugby permanently which should remove the remaining MAN E300’s from service.

Slatyford will also be getting 6 smaller EV’s (unsure what) for the 32/32A services which should remove quite a few of the E200’s. Rumour going around is Slatyford could be going fully electric this year/next year which would allow the 104**’s 105**’s 106**’s and the 260**’s and 262**’s to go elsewhere which could benefit likes of Walkergate, Shields, Hartlepool and Sunderland.
