Thanks for the post NE14NE1 lol. I scored lucky with 5297, I had only been parked up about a minute when it came out of the Works.
Okay, one thing that I've noticed and now really irritates me (I know, how unusual) is the fact that it's Sunderland District Berries, but Sunderland District Cherry.
Why is Berries plural but Cherry singular?
Is there more than one 'Berry' route but only one Cherry?

I take it the plan of withdrawing all the Citaros has gone by the wayside now then
(25 Jul 2021, 8:17 pm)Michael I wonder if 5290 - 5297 will become " Sunderland Distract Cherry" then due to 5294 becoming "Cherry".
So it would be:
5290 - 5297 - Service 35 (8 PVR)
5323 - 5327 - Service 55 (5 PVR)
5328 - 5333 - Service X20 (6 PVR)
Spares: 5334-5336
-----------------
5275 - 5289 - keep on the 6/12/12A and 57 until other buses can be sourced as the E-Zone now has a provisional date of July 2022 to start - https://newcastle.gov.uk/citylife-news/t...ext-summer
I think the 9 electric buses could now go on the 49/49A -
7 PVR + 2 spares
OR
8 + 1 spare (extra bus added to the PVR for reliability)
=
Overall 16 PVR and 2 spares
9 Streetlites from the 49/49A on to the 6/12/12A + 2 spares
Yet to decide, what would go on the 57 - does it require deckers?, if not - it would be stopped at Gateshead - PVR would be 4 - using Versa's - unless they decide to upgrade more Versa's at Riverside, the 57 would remain the same route as now.
----------------
Withdrawn:
5304
5275-5286
5337
5481
5484
5486
5487
5287-89 left in service and head to Washington.
------------
Also my numbers are probable's way off.............

(25 Jul 2021, 8:34 pm)Storx I'm not sure what the PVR 39/39A and 61 are but I'm guessing Deptford are going to gain all the 15 and 16 plate Streetlites bar the Coast and Country ones.
So you've got 5391 - 5394, 5410 - 5419 and 5438 - 5442 (19 buses) to allocate somewhere, believe there's too many for the 39/39A/61 there so maybe they could be used on the 55 instead? There's also too many 17 plates for the Coaster unless your planning to upgrade the 19 to them aswell so possibly some of those could be used on the 57?
