Judging by the response given for the question regarding new buses for the 47, could this be a hint?

I think that it'll either be:
- New buses for the Red Arrows with 7 B9s going to Crook with the rest bring split between Deptford, Riverside and Percy Main.
- Cheap end of line Euro 5 E400s.
- Scania Omnidecks.
Mind you though, if 13 year old ex London B7s could handle the X93 for 9 months and perform better than the 57 reg sheds now on the X21 / X22, then the Omnideckas should be OK if given a bit of TLC as a stop gap measure.

As you know we have some coming up, not sure when, i also suggested, if more than 7 are coming up they'll go on the X21 + 1 will be a spare for it.

The Eclipses will go on the 57 no doubt, like its being suggested.... give it a new brand please!

Does anybody know how many streetdecks Brighton and Hove will be getting?, then maybe we know how many Brighton and Hove 03 reg will be cascaded?

Go North East: 2014/15 Financial Year Order Predictions - Jimmi - 13 Apr 2015
People are probably going to dismiss this as rubbish but part of me is thinking that the Red Arrows B9s could potentially go on the X21 and some other services next year and the X1 could maybe get new stock next year as don't GNE usually like to repaint their buses every 5 years which is how old the older examples will be next year, also does the X21 really justify brand new double deckers when on evenings and Sunday's the X21 interworks with the 21 using the Angel Hybrids. With the DDA deadline approaching GNE will probably have to find some double deckers from somewhere as I can't see the likes of the 14/X22, X25 and short 9s really justifying brand new double deckers. There may be more cascades coming before the end of 2016 but there may not, we'll just have to wait and see.
And now everyone probably thinks I've gone mad again.

Did Volvo stop building the Volvo B9TL completely or was it just with the Wright Gemini 2 bodywork? I'm not sure on the answer but that maybe how it is working.

There was more Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 vehicles in dealer stock than had been suggested on this forum previously... Arriva North East didn't purchase the final examples, after all.
