(05 Mar 2016, 4:22 pm)NK53 TKT wrote So, I have some more allocation suggests for GNE:
Firstly, the removal of 3818-3832.
3943 and 6001-6006 would replace the olympians with 6007 taking 3943's role as a spare. These would be replaced by 6043-6049 from the TTX. The P.V.R of the TTX would double to 14 with 15 StreetDecks on order with one spare allowing for an every 15 minute combined service. The buses would be based at Peterlee instead of Riverside and would have later evening journeys. 5333-5336 would transfer from Peterlee to Hexham for use on Tynedale Express services along with connextions4 bus 5358 as a red spare, 5229 would be painted Tynedale Links for use on the 680 with 5210 being primarily used on the 688. 5230-5232 would replace 4909-4911 at Deptford with 5233 replacing 4918 at Riverside. The 11 connextions4 vehicles would be replaced by streetlites with 5359-5367 transferring to Peterlee for use on the Wear Tees Express with 5359 being a spare allowing for a half hourly frequency. 5367 would go to Stanley to replace 4896 and 5368 would go to Riverside to replace 4897. 5275-5283 and 5331 would be replaced by 10 streetlites with 4 staying at Riverside to displace 4899-4902.

The 17 would be half hourly for the full route with a P.V.R of 8 and the 17A would be run commercially through the day along with evening and Sunday 17's which would follow the daytime route. The 17A would extend all journeys to Northumberland Park with a P.V.R of 4. There would b two spare streetlites. The routes would become the North Tyneside flyer brand. There would be 9 more streetlites coming to Riverside to displace 5219-5226 on the LOOP. They would all replace Chester-le Street's Y-Reg solars. 11 streetlites would go to Deptford to replace the Fast Cats solars also allowing the full X36 route to be half hourly. 4955 would stay at Deptford to replace 4936. 4973 and 4974 would replace 4931 and 4932 at Riverside. 4975 would replace 4935 at Washington. 4976 would replace 8258 at Deptford. 5205-5209 would also all stay at Deptford to replace remaining cadets. 11 streetlites would go to Chester-le-Street for use Wagonway, the services would be every 30 minutes and one spare would come. on 4956-4958 would go to Percy Main as spares and 4959 and 4960 would displace 8270 and 8271 at Washington. 3 Streetlites would go to Crook for use on making the X46 be half hourly through the day. One spare would be used for the 18 and X46. The 9 would be every 15 minutes full route with a P.V.R of 8. 9 Streetlites would come with one spare. 4 streetlites would be based at Percy Main and 5 would be based at Deptford. This would allow for 3 B7TLs to go (3978-3980) these would replace 3859 at Percy Main, (3978), 3864 at Stanley, (3979) and 3869 at Chester-le-Street, (3980.) 5247-5249 would be branded Cobalt Connect allowing for Ashington services to be every 30 minutes also allowing 5249 to be a branded spare. 5273 would be an all routes spare. The 9 would be branded the Wear-Tyne flyer. 14 Wright streetdecks wold come to Riverside/Hexham for service on the TEN. 6071-6074 would stay at Riverside for use on Red Kite 47, bringing it up to similar standard as the 45/46, freeing 6118-6121 to go to Percy Main for the 327, 3963 would join them. 6081-6083 would go to Stanley to replace 3873, 3876 and 3880. 6075-6077 would replace 3872, 3875 and 3878 at Chester-le-Street. 6078-6080 would replace 6008, 6010 and 6015 at Percy Main. 3890 and 3891 would stay at Percy Main to replace 6023 and 6025.
