(10 Feb 2016, 10:41 am)South Tyne Lad Because its a New Type of Vehicle in the Fleet so strating fresh in a sequence ( 6301 up ) will make it easier to identify Vehicles if further orders of the Streetdeck are ordered.
Saying that above, I wouldn't be surprised if this Streetdeck is numbered 6301?

(10 Feb 2016, 11:00 am)Andreos1 More Omnideckers for the 61xx series maybe?
Any additional aquired deckers could then continue into the 62xx.
I was wondering if this new batch would start off the 3xxx series again, but I am guessing they're waiting for that to be cleared first.

If Stanley actually get a hold of the 47 and decide to interwork it with the 45 / 46, how would things stand in terms of allocations? Would GNE be able to justify not using deckers on the 47 in return for better reliability by interworking with the 45 / 46 or would GNE need to perhaps look at deckers?
If GNE were to source more Streetlites for the 45/46/47 if the above was to be the case, with the GKN mods doubtful to be going ahead on 6085 - 6117, do you think GNE would take the opportunity to do the following:
- 6085 and 6104 reverted back to their original state (standard Volvo diesels).
- 6118 and 6119 receive the parts / modifications out of the 2x vehicles above (if possible).
- 6118 and 6119 then form part of the Angel PVR and branded accordingly (could be fitted with NSAs) with 6120 and 6121 acting as corporate spares. No refurbs would be required due to the urban nature of the route although GNE could perhaps re-trim the seats from dealer stock and repaint the poles to white only in 6118 and 6119.
- 3962 and 3965 then either stay at CLS, replace GUP and FUP at Percy Main (DDA regulations) or transfer to Riverside.

Not sure why people are jumping to 63xx for the Streetdecks.
I think they're more likely to start at 6201 etc.
