Don't think the Omnicities on the Coaster will be shifting anytime soon now taking into account that Stagecoach have extended the 22. I think maybe some cascaded Mercs a few year down the line will be brought in if required or if GNE are willing to take Stagecoach to the cleaners, some Streetlites with the route running like this:
- Every 20 minutes from Whitley Bay to Gateshead
- Every 20 minutes from North Shields to Wrekenton
- Every 10 minutes from North Shields to Gateshead combined
Although the Omnicities haven't been perfect, they do their job alright. Don't think the 1 will get a decker upgrade though now for the reason stated above but I think it will get some cascades or some Streetlites down the line.
