(06 May 2019, 5:54 pm)L469 YVK If the low height version of the E400MMC is 4200mm (13ft 9in), would that type be able to safely clear the bridge in Dunston which is 14ft 3in?

Of course! Our P+R deckers fit under Marton Bridge. 13ft 11" vs a 14ft Bridge

(15 Mar 2019, 1:58 pm)RBZ 5459 15x StreetDeck for the X1 (plus 2 spare)
13x StreetDeck for 56 (plus 2 spare)
1x StreetDeck left over... so Chester/Crook spare.
11x E200 for the 4

B9TL replace Omnidekka at Stanley/Chester where necessary, perhaps some cascades to EYMS too.

Think I still stand by my earlier suggestions, with slight amendments on recent developments.

People seem to be convinced that these E200s are for the 4, but isn't the PVR of the 4, 11? It's not like GNE to order no spare buses these days.

I'd go with the E200s being for the 97, and all the deckers going to Consett for the X30/31/70/71 and 45/46/47. The 6 would then go to Riverside.

So with 11x Mercs, the PVR of the X31/6 is 8x and the PVR of the X30 is x3. You could be right!

6301 - 6307 would be better at Deptford on Prince Bishops, as they have most of the same features as the StreetLites, minus the tables.

I don't think the PBs will get deckers just yet. 6301-05 would be fine on the 56 given the stop / start nature of the routes. 6306 & 6307 would be more than adequate as spares even on the X1.

Except the tables on the Streetdecks are actually usable. There is nowhere near enough leg room on the C&C for me to sit at the table comfortably, even when I have the whole table to myself. And the post is in the perfect place for me to not be able to get in to the seat without banging my knees.
IMO, they would have been better off just omitting the tables all together

They would've done that by now but due to the PVR increasing by 1x on X21, there wouldn't be enough B9TLs to make up the PVR on the Castles Express without leaving the Cobalt & Coast 1x short.

Interesting...... so that now could mean the following:

Option 1:
- 16x to Consett for Red Kites (incl 2x spare)
- 15x to Washington for X1 (incl 2x spare)

Option 2:
- 15x to Washington for X1 (incl 2x spare)
- 16x to Deptford for Fab 56 (incl 2x spare)

Working it out, it couldn't be the PB's, Coasters or TVT's (unless other types made up spares) as they would all require 18x or 19x vehicles only leaving 12x.

Well working it out, Red Arrows is a definite cert to get new vehicles whether confirmed or not so that only leaves 16x with the Fab 56 PVR reducing by 1x vehicle. Therefore, it looks like the Red Kites could be in for an upgrade unless the 1x extra vehicle was used between CLS/Crook.

- 6055 makes up additional PVR on Coaster

Connections 4 Cascades
- 10x 63 reg Mercs to Riverside for 97/97A
- 1x 63 reg Merc to Riverside as a spare
The 327 PVR is only 4, make more sense to keep them as the only backups at Percy Main withdrawing omnidekkas and solars. 
Also maybe 3941/2/3/62/3/4/5 to Riverside moving presidents to Saltmeadows for more miscellaneous works?

For those who aren't on the 'Busesnortheast' Facebook Group, a comment by Martjn Gilbert on photos of the Enviro Demos has confirmed the following regarding the new vehicles:

The Enviro200MMCs are for Riverside depot, not Washington.
The initial Double Decker order will be for Consett and Stanley area services (presumably confirming the E400s are low-height examples for the X30, matches the PVR)
The additional vehicle added to the order is indeed a Streetdeck but unlike the rest, this will feature the 6 cylinder engine as a trial - as such, it will operated out of every depot at various points.
