80295 is departing Stockton for Hull tomorrow leaving Stockton - quite frankly dangerously low for available buses. 4 operational spares is quite frankly a baffling decision! Unknown whether additional resource will be sourced!
I’d blame the TVCA for that mess. They wanted the depot fully electric but didn’t invest enough for extra buses. Be interesting if Stockton turn around and say they don’t have enough buses anymore. In my opinion it was a stupid decision to go fully electric all at once. Should have been done in stages, with the final stage being when the new depot was built rather than all at once.
