By going off the rumours, I can see the Blaydon Racers getting 5409-5419 and that'll work out a good move due to no repaints being required etc.

My big question is will the TEN B9s be replaced or Cobalt Clipper B9s be replaced? Big decision and many pros / a few cons for both if the Red Kite did go fully double deck.

TEN for new deckers:
- Would still have shortage with 6101/02 added owing to nature of 6084 unless Streetdecks were ordered for the TTX with a spare.

- Decent spare vehicles hard to come by and would still end up in same scenario even with 6084 not being required on TTX.

Cobalt Clipper for new deckers:
- More fuel savings due to nature of routes.

- Savings may be cancelled out due to traffic light install on Norham Road most likely leading to PVR increase leading to 309/310 not being interworked bar a few occasions or 310 gets approx 15 mins layover.

- Competition with Arriva.
