(05 Nov 2017, 7:22 pm)park5354 Citylink Versa, according to grapevine/chinese whispers etc !!!!!
Could it be possible that 5328-5335 end up allocated to the 58 joining the 49 as being a sort of branded corporate livery route? This would allow 5377-81 to move to Chester-le-Street for the Waggonway.
Personally I would then like to see 5382-89 (and 5390 as a spare) end up at Deptford for the 35 keeping in line with the S.i.D.i Sunderland 36 Versa's. In turn when it comes to refurbishing the Versa's next year I'd like to see 8301 join the Lambton Worm (as I believe an L94 is allocated in place of one of the Versa's). Then 8316-8 go Green Quaylink and 8326-28 go Purple Quaylink to keep fleet numbers consecutive.
That would allow 5305-9 and 5323-27 along with the Omnicities off the Coaster to be allocated to any out of the Green Arrows, Blue Arrows, the Loop, Black Cats, the 9 or maybe even the 19 (if these aren't allocated to the 9 then 6 L94s displaced from the others would then have to move to Deptford instead).
