You may find a Yutong on other routes eventually but at the moment no they haven’t trained drivers on them other than the ones that do the 30/31/36. Once they do then Yutongs will probably appear on other routes. Once the other 8 or however many come that’ll free up the E200MMC’s that get used on the 30/31/36 to be used on other routes.
I agree the 373**’s aren’t great but I do think they’re better than the 364**’s. The 364**’s are Euro 4 engined with Euro 6 exhausts so they should have left a long time ago. 36470 & 36476 can’t go into the city centre and 36471 won’t be able to as well from 29th May. The 373**’s are Euro 5 I believe with Euro 6 exhausts exactly the same as the 272**’s we had from Stockton but yet we couldn’t keep them. Stagecoach just don’t make sense.
