Why does the 16/X45 terminate at Templetown is it just to alleviate the lost millage for driver changeover because im pretty sure no one uses them so surely its just more expensive than a van.
X20 I don't know how Versas would do with it spending a lot of time on the A690, 5369-5376 would be good, however they would need new buses for the 60. However I can't see the Versa's leaving none Newcastle routes they could go onto the 25/28/29 (PVR 7+3 Spare). But then the 8 Needs several spares there are always replacement buses on that and they are all versa's or connections 4. 4 does have an adequate number of spares.
Washington/Deptford/Consett will struggle for Euro 6 and Spares overall. 20 Plate streetdecks leaves them with about 6 spares, and I think there are only 3x E400 MMC spares.
The versa's inside are also awful they have changed colour its like a dark yellow/brown ish, they are quite bad even on the Berries. Hopefully GNE can spare 10 Euro 6 buses to be spread out between Consett/Washington/Deptford for extra spares on top of what they have.
