South Tyne, the Cadets should be going when the Prince Bishop streetlites enter service, same as the duel door B10's.

I can't see Versa's being allocated to the 28/28A, I don't think they'd last 5 minutes! I think Citaro's would be ideal for the Waggonway service's.

I don't think they've ever had new vehicles on them. When the Omnicites first arrived at Stanley they ended up on the 709/728, about as close to new as you'll get on the route. 

Can't imagine it's a priority for GNE. Just look at how long it took for the deadly DAFs to go.

Imagine the Angel will get a rebrand too, it won't be 'green' as such anymore!

More than the 721 Davie lad.
There was about 3 routes merged together when they created the 28.

Chester - Strange Villa.
Strange Villa - Eighton Lodge.
Eighton Lodge - Newcastle. (The only bit in common with the 721).

The green arrow could be next in line for investment I think - the Solars on there are some of the worst so possibly some Streetlites for them.

Angel is also a good shout and then the B5s can go on either the Coaster or Crusader releasing the Citaros for the Tynedale Express, Cats Fast X35 and Waggonway.

Can also see the 2s getting new buses as the Versas on there are deffo some of the worst - Versas could then possibly go on the 82 and 82A or if enough also the 85 and 86.Solos wouldn't be big enough for the 82s I don't think.

Then finally maybe a couple of Solos for the 18 to get rid of the MPDs. Wouldn't be many left if Versas also replaced them on the 85/86.
