Annual PSV tests on all of the recently acquired Volvo B7s are being completed by Volvo, rather than locally by Go North East, to alleviate pressure from the local engineering teams at depot level. As this does not include 6010 (V310 LGC) or 6033 (V333 LGC), these vehicles have transferred from Saltmeadows Road Depot to Riverside, with 6924 (LX54 GZB) & 6925 (LX54 GZC) moving the other way, meaning that all of the Volvo B7s at Saltmeadows Road have the PSV tests carried out by Volvo.

In order to standardise the fleet at Percy Main, ex-London Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Geminis 6910 - 6914 are being allocated to Percy Main in order to operate the depot's Nexus Miscellaneous Works contracts contracts. As such, this vehicle and Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekkas 6136 - 6138 have been released for cascade elsewhere. This vehicle has transferred from Percy Main Depot to Saltmeadows Road, which, from Monday 3rd September 2018, has re-opened as an operational depot to house the operation of some . The depot's bodyshop and stores facility also remains in use at Saltmeadows. The allocation at Saltmeadows largely consists of older Volvo B7s, as these are not planned to be repainted and ideally are to be isolated from normal frontline service work.
