I’m confused Glen, you were complaining about them saying they need to go back to rugby and now ones left you’re complaining again? I don’t think Stockton are getting anymore, in my opinion they had too many some just sat around doing nothing so I’m sure they can spare losing one.

Stockton have 65 Yutong E12s now 73056 has moved to Sunderland - and have a Single Decker PVR of 61 for most of the week (counting the 58 board that works the Sedgefield School Contract in that as 80000 only works the school related part of that unless there's a shortage of Yutongs). I know from discussion with people in the know that Stockton's Engineering Manager was a bit conceded at only having 5 spares - lord knows how he feels having only 4, particularly when one hasn't been out for 3 days now. Not to mention that from Wednesday onwards, the PVR for singles is technically 62 as there's an additional school-only board to work one of the UTCs (Wednesdays that's down to the East Cleveland board which works one of them on Mondays and Tuesdays not being back in the depot early enough, Thursdays and Fridays due to Sedgefield finishing at the usual half 3 instead of half 4 as it does on Wednesdays meaning 80000 can only work the Sedgefield contract rather than that and a UTC). There's also possible proposals for (funded) service enchantments in the pipeline, which will require additional vehicles.

Interesting. I’m surprised they’ve let 73056 go. Gotta think as well they’ve lost 73176 to Slatyford as well so should have had 6 spares before they both went.
