Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions

Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions

RE: Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions
Following my previous prediction, I have revised my idea to this, I think that this idea is far more possible to occur:

7 Streetdecks - Tyne Tees Express
I believe that seven Streetdecks will arrive at Riverside depot to replace 6043-6048 on services X9 and X10. 6043 - 6045 will transfer to Washington depot, and will be branded as Red Arrows for services X1, X1A and 921. This will allow Volvo B7s 6011 and 6042 to transfer to Stanley depot, allowing Tridents 3887 and 3889 to transfer to Percy Main for use in the DFDS service. This will allow 3866 and 3867 to be withdrawn. 3943 will then transfer to Riverside depot to replace Volvo Olympian 3818. 6046 - 6048 will stay at Riverside and will be branded up for the TENs, allowing the Volvo B7s to replace older double deckers in the fleet. The double decker vehices these will replace are 3819, 3824 and 6030. The scholar services that these three vehices are currently allocated to will be allocated them Volvos. Red Volvo B9TL 6084 will remain at Riverside as a red spare for the TEN and Tyne Tees Express services.

12 Streetlites - Blaydon Racers
As I stated in my last prediction, I still think that twevlve Streetlites will arrive for the Blaydon Racer services. However, unlike my previous prediction, I think that 5275-5283 will remain at Riverside depot, with 5275 - 5282 being allocated to the LOOP services 93 and 94, replacing 5219-5226. 5283 and 5331 would become spare vehicles. This would allow Scanias 5219 - 5223 to replace Volvo B10s 4897-4900 and 4900. 5224 - 5226 can then transfer to Percy Main to replace Volvo B10s 4915 - 4917. The two spare Streetlites will see the withdrawal of Scanias 4929 and 4930.

17 Streetdecks - Angel
As the Volvo B5LHs currently allocated to the Angel are soon to be 5 year old, I can see Go North East purchasing seventeen Streetdecks for the 21/N21 services. This would allow the Volvo B5LHs to transfer to Riverside depot for use on Crusader service 27. This will allow Citaros 5310 - 5315 transfer to Chester Le Street depot for Waggonway Services 28/28A. This would allow 4956-4958 to replace 4926-4928 as Spare vehicles at Chester Le Street. 4959 and 4960 would replace 4931 and 4932 at Riverside. 5315 would allow 4934 to be withdrawn. 5316 and 5317 would become spare vehices and remain at Riverside to replace Scanias 4933 and 4935. 5318 would then transfer to Deptford to replace 4936. 5319 could then transfer to Stanley to replace 4896, until 5292 returns to service. 5328 - 5330 can then transfer to Hexham for use on the Tynedale Express services X84/X85, which would allow 5229, 5230 and 5231 to transfer to Deptford to replace 4937, 4945 and 4946. 5232 and 5233 would transfer to Riverside to replace 4942 and 4943. 3962 and 3965 would remain and Chester Le Street and replace 6017 and 6018.

12 Streetlites Green Arrow
I think another twelve Streetlites will arrive, again at Riverside depot, however, this time for the Green Arrow services. This would allow  4938, 4940, 4941, 4944, 4947, 4948 and 4949 to be withdrawn. 4967 and 5218 would then transfer to Deptford which would see 4954 and 4955 withdrawn. 5227 and 5228 would transfer to Chester Le Street to see 4956 and 4957 withdrawn.
