Everyone's seem to of forgotten what Dan mentioned/hinted a while back... That the Versa's on the 61 could be only temporary, hence why 8328 was never painted in to Simplicity livery... maybe the Citaro's from the WTX is going on the 61 along with the spare from the 35/36?
Meaning 5 Versa's, 1 Scania on to the 9 - replacing 5 Scania's.
The above allows 3 Scania's to Percy Main and 2 Scania's to Riverside replacing the B10's.

As we know plans can change but thought i would share what I've just remembered!

Since the Diamond was split in two (Durham Diamond 16 and Northern 6)hasn't there be rumours of the 6 being changed to a new fleet of large single deckers, Citaros or split with some new Double deckers to cope with peak services but also for X30/1, X70/1 under a new Express brand.
Stanley could certainly do with some new buses for Inter-city (Newcastle) services and possibly a new Consett to Sunderland Express service.
Shouldn't all Express services be "Limited Stop" where local services can be used to serve hub station or stops where Express services serve, for example between Gateshead (Interchange or Metro Centre) into and from Newcastle.

(28 Nov 2016, 2:35 pm)RBZ 5459 It'll be all the Scanias that are listed as Euro 5 on the fleet list which will have had that particular Eminox work done. Physically, it's anything that has the small extra grill next to the engine/radiator grill on the N/S. Think 4949 is the exception to this as it received a brand new Euro 5 engine after its fire.
Some of the other more elderly ones have been up'd to just to Euro 4 in the past, but that will just be the simpler mod/traps GNE have done on their terms without funding.
(28 Nov 2016, 3:09 pm)RBZ 5459 Think it's 4961-4 to Percy Main once the Mercs come off the Wear Tees.
(28 Nov 2016, 11:06 pm)Ryan99 Dunno if said but 5333-6 will be all repainted into new livery and remain at deptford to release 4961-4 to Percy paint to get the last few b10s gone.
(28 Nov 2016, 6:48 pm)thetravelman Which depot operates the 11 service on an Evening and Sundays between Metro Centre and Lobley Hill - Is this Riverside?
During these times the route looks split to only run Metro Centre to Lobley Hill and also Whitley Bay to Wallsend Metro, leaving the middle section between Wallsend and Lobley Hill without service.
If Riverside do operate this part of the route at an evening or on a Sunday, do they have a branded vehicle or is it allocated a corporate livery vehicle?

(29 Nov 2016, 4:28 pm)Dan Whilst I don't think there's any harm in me confirming that 5333 - 5336 will all be repainted into the new corporate livery and allocated to Deptford Depot for service 9, I am not sure why this would release four Scania L94s to Percy Main?
I think it's more likely that Percy Main will receive three Scania L94s from Deptford as a consequence of the above, allowing three Volvo B10BLEs to be directly withdrawn. This will then provide a consistent spare vehicle allocation for Blue Arrow service 11, when the weekday Misc Works services do not operate.
------------
I don't think I said that the Versa allocation would be temporary - more so that there could be plans in the pipeline, accounting for why the branding on the "SimpliCity" branded Versas wasn't altered to accommodate service 61 joining the brand, and the website shows the service as being unbranded.
All will become clear in time, I am sure!

(29 Nov 2016, 4:38 pm)Michael I thought GNE were against mixed allocations!, unless they are gaining another Citaro from a different depot to allow them to allocate 6. (Would imagine the 5th one is the spare at Deptford?)
Ah right, i was close in some sort haha, hopefully that includes the Versa's on the 2/2A!

(29 Nov 2016, 4:45 pm)Dan Split vehicle allocations are avoided - generally speaking. Having one vehicle type allocated makes route costings easier, and is easier to understand from a depot perspective.
However, big picture...
