HI I just want ask you something is it this year when the s reg man alx are getting withdrawn at Stockton.

That all depends on the state of things withdrawn from Sunderland.

Speaking of the S-regs, 22455 has broken down on the A19 Portrack interchange slip road coming off the A19 southbound.

And to be honest, given Sunderland will likely only be getting rid of their T-reg MANs and their sole S-reg (22453), I can't see 22451/2/4-6 being replaced this year given the only replacements would be those T-reg MANs and they would be life-expired themselves next year anyway.

It all depends on new vehicle orders, cascades etc. You would think they would be withdrawn over the next two years given their age but considering a number of the T-reg examples at Stockton have only recently been repainted in the last few years (add also that 22671 had only recently been fully refurbished inside as well) suggests they may be here a bit longer however it's only a matter of time consider almost the entire Stockton single decker fleet (bar 22011-20/61-66 and 24101-15) will have to be replaced before the end of December 2015 as they are not to full DDA standards.

I personally think the only new buses that could occur is double deckers for the 36, and if the 100 in Newcastle recieves new buses then i can see the Enviro300 examples running the 37.

At some point, there will need to be an investment of new stock into Stockton for more than just the 36/37 as has happened in the last decade (and even then, only 24101-15 were fully purchased from Stagecoach funds, 22061-6 and 34401 were part-funded by the Government Kick Start funding same as Hartlepool's 34550/61-9 and Slatyford's 22408-13). Low height Enviro400s, in theory, should fit under Marton Railway Bridge so could be used on the 37 as well as the 36 (although you would need to try out first, same with the Tridents as they too are also low enough to fit under). The endless cascade of mid-life stock can only go on for so long.
