Hi I would like to ask you something, I want to know why Newcastle, Sunderland, Hartlepool and South Shields have buses like trans bus Dennis Dart, ALX 200 and Enviro Enviro200 and Stagecoach on Teesside don't

The buses are too small in capacity for Teesside Routes, throughout the day most buses get full with the seating capacity of a ALX300. Therefore the buses have to be the capacity of a full size single decker, a few year ago Teesside did have ALX200 and Dennis Darts (primary for service 1 but were seen on other routes too) but the increase of customers and with the 1 going to Hartlepool, there was a need for larger buses.
Like before we were talking about they should get doubles for the 36, going backwards and buying Enviro200's is not going to help at all (imagine one on a 36!)

Stockton's Darts were used on the 59/61 mainly (the 1 is, and always has been, worked by Hartlepool depot since it was extended to Middlesbrough) but they did escape onto other work (33101 even did appear on the 36 once!). They also used to run the evening/Sunday 12/610/611 due to the left turn out of Trimdon Avenue on the 611 (although now even the Enviro300s can get round that).
Olympians 16833/5 were today's extra 36s. 16835 was back out on 36s by half 5. 16836 meanwhile was on the 35, 16834 spent the day on 52s and 16831 was out on 11s. 16839 was meanwhile out on route learning.
Hi haven't see much of buses b10ble like 21104 and 21150 are sill in services
