Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions
(09 Apr 2017, 2:09 pm)Kuyoyo One minor issue - the X30 goes under a low bridge, which the B9TLs (being full height) wouldn't be able to go under. 3995/6 are also not able to go under it (notice in the cab by the destination control).They just go around the back to the A1114 if a larger vehicle is sent out. Not a common thing, but not unheard of. It only omits one stop on the side of the junction next to the school.

Personally thought that some cascaded B9s would move to Stanley but given that some of the Omnidekkas are being repainted, it would suggest that they're sticking with them and not upgrading as such.
However, if no more orders come through this year, I can see a big 'bulk' order coming through next year though.

(09 Apr 2017, 6:09 pm)busmanT There are a further 18 StreetLite due in this financial year, although delivery might run into July. This will make 49 new buses in this financial year.
I can't see many new single decks coming for a few years after these.

(09 Apr 2017, 6:33 pm)Tom Green/Blue Arrow have a total of 18, but can't see them being ordered without a spare?
Was also thinking Quaylink but there wouldn't be enough for them. Can't think of much with a total of 18 unless they are for 2 separate routes.

(09 Apr 2017, 6:38 pm)GX03 Green Arrow (10) & either Loop (8) or Saltwell Park (8) with the spares being made up of ex Blaydon racer refurb mercs.You still here?

(09 Apr 2017, 7:31 pm)Tom Haha think I may have got it - Citylink 57/58 with 2 spare? Especially since the Citaros are heading down to Blackburn for refurb

(11 Apr 2017, 6:09 am)LeeCalder Any idea's for the 28/28A? Everyone seems to forget about them...... 52 plate Scania's which rattle to death on there. Passengers are always moaning about them. I would have thought the Versa's on the 34 will move on at some point?

(11 Apr 2017, 6:29 am)Dan Versa quite well suited to the 34 - don't think these will cascade on to another route yet, especially after busmanT has voiced his doubts of further new single-deck investment after the next batch due.

(09 Apr 2017, 7:50 pm)Michael Would make sense due to the reason above, it would also mean there's 3 spares for the THE 49/Saltwell Park/Citylink 57/58 and the X66.
Cascades:
Citaro's:
Blue Arrow: 5293- 5297 and 5320 - 5322 + 3 (that includes a spare) of the refurbished ones from the ex Blaydon Racer batch
---------------
Versa's
5377 - 5384 - Loop
-------------------
Scania's from both Blue and Loop to replace older Scania's in the fleet.
It'll depend on what colour the Citylink 57 Citaro's come back as, we might be waiting at least 3-4 weeks, think they're still waiting on around 6 or 7 of the Ex Blaydon Racers Citaro's to arrive back.

(17 Apr 2017, 5:22 pm)busmanT The Scania L94 on the Loop have exhaust after-treatment (SCRT) fitted, funded with a government grant in partnership with Gateshead Council - these are likely to remain on the Loop for some time, as are the Scania L94 on Green Arrow.

(11 Apr 2017, 6:57 am)LeeCalder I don't think they will yet, over time I would imagine so. There's generally about two off the road each day of the week, they seem very tired. Crawling up Pelaw Bank, it's very very tedious

(17 Apr 2017, 8:42 pm)Malarkey All of the Scanias which are rated Euro 5 within the fleet had the Eminox Modifications, I personally think the "Loop/Green Arrow" are long overdue an upgrade, could argue the 93/94 haven't had new vehicles for 13 Years now.
