Possibly, but I can understand why they're all at Slaytford - they're for NewcastleGateshead CitySightseeing. You wouldn't have one of those based at Sunderland or Shields because its service is in Newcastle/Gateshead.
If not for maintenance purposes, why else would you have a vehicle that is used in service in South Shields based at Newcastle?
