The Contract's which require Seatbelts can not be ran by 635/636, So they cannot be spares for Hexham I don't think.
I wouldn't be surprised if there put in storage for the winter till the AD122 starts again next year.

(01 Jun 2016, 4:44 pm)S813 FVK wrote I wouldn't think that there are issues regarding them being spares for Hexham - especially as it is only one school route which requires Seatbelts anyway, which the branded SRs can easily do if 618 is unavailable allowing 635/636 to cover for them on the Tynedale Links routes.

(01 Jun 2016, 6:54 pm)Dan wrote No - it's probably just going to stay at Washington for the remainder of its demonstration period with Go North East.

It just seems a bit coincidental that the StreetLite has arrived during a time in which there is a shortage of vehicles available, that's all.

Plenty of vehicles being withdrawn from the fleet at the moment that can help steady the ship at Washington: 4924 and 5170 being prime examples of this!
