A few new suggestions.

30 Wright StreetDeck's for Corporate Livery Spares

25 (23+2 Spares) Volvo 7900H's for the Quaylink Q1/Q2 & Q3

10 (9+1 Spare) Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid for the Simplicity 2/2A 

9 (8+1 Spare) Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid for the South Tyne 88/88A

9 (8+1 Spare) Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid for the Citylink 58

5 (4+1 Spare) Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid for the 61 (With Drifter Branding)

5 (4+1 Spare) Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid (10.4m) for the Lambton Worm 34/34A

Number of Vehicles to be ordered = 93 - The purpose of the order would be to withdraw the remaining Volvo B10BLE's (4896/4898/4899/4900/4915/4917/4919 & 4922) and the first batch of Scania L94's (4926 to 4938/4940 to 4949/4954 to 4966/4989 to 4992) along with Volvo B7TL Plaxton President's. This would then allow all 59 Optare Versa's to take a spare roll within the Go North East fleet across multiple depots across the region, whilst also significantly reducing the fleet age with this investment. 

With reducing fleet age mind I think Go North East should start buying "New Double Deckers" in the form of Wright StreetDeck's to a Standard Specification to replace older Deckers in the fleet, rather than continuously purchasing second hand cast-offs from other Go-Ahead Divisions which have seen better days, I for one hate the Volvo B7 President's with a passion, as I would imagine many other customers do, passengers love nothing more than a new bus on there local routes, and as we have seen in the past with the Prince Bishops, Castles Express and Indigo recently, this massively boosts customer satisfaction with positive comments made by passengers when on board the new bus and on social media.
