Think the B9's will stay on the X1. Think that the X21 will get StreetDecks with the seven Pronto branded Presidents being repainted into the corporate livery and would replace Lolyne's at Chester-le-Street. Am I right in thinking that GNE are due more OmniDeckkas? If so these would probably go to Stanley to replace Yellow Bus Olympian's and Lolyne's (or some OmniDeckkas may go elsewhere within the GNE fleet). Think the X9/X10 will be upgraded either in this financial year or next but not sure what will be chosen for this route, StreetDecks perhaps?
I agree with Jimmi on these:
The B9's will stop at Washington.
The X21 will get new buses and they'll be streetDecks with 7 branded and 1 spare.
The Pronto B7's will move to a spare role replacing the Lolynes.
To add:
I heard more Omnidekka's were coming up here, not confirmed where they're are going or how many but they'll probables go to Stanley to replace the remaining buses for depot standardisation and all that stuff and to replace the non DDA deckers.
I think the buses on the X9/X10 will be on for a few more years before getting replaced i don't think they'll want the problems which occured on the B7's....
