Don't think it is very good having so many TEN service being run by a Red corporate vehicle.My thoughts on new orders and cascades :-
Are the TEN likely to receive an upgrade soon, or even just the few to make up the full PVR in branded spec?
19 Wright streetdeck for Chester. 17 for Angel 21, and two red spares for X21/21.
15 B5H to Stanley for Red Kite.
B9TL 6118-21 to Percy Main for DFDS 327.
Streetlite 5409-18 to Riverside for Blaydon Racer. 5419 to Riverside as a spare for X66/49.
Mercedes Citaro 5275-83/5292 onto Green Arrow, with 5323 to Stanley for 16/16A.
18 Optare MetroDecker for Riverside/Hexham. 16 for TyneValley (was TEN), with 2 red spares.
