A Connections 4 has appeared at Alpha Recovery, it appears to be 5360 however 5360 according to Bustimes at least is in service. Anyone know what happened to this?

So does anybody know if 678/679 are permanently transferred to GNW or just out on loan?.

Never mind, only there for route learning

Need new vehicles to replace them. Not sure if the new electric vehicles have even been ordered yet, even then, there really needs to be a new single deck order to replace them, I'm not sure if GNE are willing to put their hands in their pockets yet for new buses.

GNE needs to place a similar order to that of 2011-2013

Replace the 10's, 56's, 309-310, 60, 20, all the versas (although the 60's could go onto the 35, with the princebishops being used on south tyneside which never has the fleet it should have on. 16/16A/X5/X15 needs something, 4 need something (hopefully eCitaro), 63 plate versas need to be replaced. 

Lets not forget the Red Kite Rangers, and all the RIders, but I suppose it speaks when GNE are getting a lot of 07-60 plate deckers as to keep them going

Not reckon there could be another round of service cuts and frequency reductions? 

It means they can ontinue with fleet reduction and not replace X life expired vehicles with the same number of new/newer vehicles.

I wouldn't put it past them, but it would take another massive reduction to get rid of all the Versas and Citaros left mind.

I reckon they will squeeze a few more years out of the Versa's and replace them with some 'not quite so old' acquired vehicles.
Citaro's should hang on for a while yet, unless Manchester need them.

Go North East seem to be more focused on re-building the network, with contract awards and services returning to pre-cut frequencies, at the moment. If anything it means that the life of some of these older vehicles may be elongated.

The other operators making cuts currently haven’t made any drastic reductions to their network over the past year or two, unlike Go North East.

Perhaps two could stay in Xlines X21 Colours, 4 go to Orange for the X5/X15 and 1 goes into Charcoal at Consett. 

Therefore 4 hybrids are cleared up for spares which they need as there has been 50% of the X5/X15 Hybrids missing for ages

Although I doubt they'd ever release the info, I do wonder how the newer Streetdecks compare to the B5s on the X21 in terms of fuel economy.

Being limited to 4 speed gearbox on motorway and quick A roads must really harm the Streetdecks economy compared to the 6 speed of the B5s. Unless the Mercedes engine is considerably more efficient than the Volvo unit?
