8319 – 8324 to the 36 (confirmed) 
8325/26 to Chester as spares
8327/28 to Riverside as a spares

I would say 8319 - 8324 for the 36 with 8325 as its spare. 8306 repainted and branded for S1 replacing 8266 and 8307/8/9/26/7/8 also to Riverside in corporate livery for 67/69 (when not required on Quaylink).

Just spotted this on 4936's fleet news:

To avoid the cost of preparing this vehicle for annual PSV test, and to better utilise the gearbox from this vehicle in Scania L94UB/Wright Solar 4989 (YN51 MKV), this vehicle has been withdrawn from service at Deptford Depot, and will be sold for scrap. It will be replaced in the fleet at Deptford once cascades commence, as a result of the entry into service of 18 brand new Wright Streetlite vehicles due for delivery in June.


Looks like the new Streetlites will start to arrive next month Tongue, also noticed once they arrive Go North East will have 106 of them in total, catching up to the Scania L94's.

Any chance 4 of the new streetlites are for the Red kite to replace the 4 B9s, Allowing the 4 deckers to join a brand that needs them.

Ten for instance 

or even the 21?

Some of the journeys on the 45 46 47 need double decks.

I would expect the TEN to get some of the current X9 X10 buses when the new double decks for those routes arrive later this year.

With all these demonstrators being tried on the 21, I think it must be due new buses.

Thought that would be the case.... Red Arrows have 5/6 year old buses on the route, i expect them to get new buses before the TEN.


You can see my predication's for Go North East's 2017/2018 financial year in this tread:
