It was said by BusmanT in the 2016/2017 thread: "can't see many new single decks coming for a few years after these"., this was a post after it was confirmed 18 more Streetlites would arrive - this can be found here: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...p?tid=1759&page=57
My predication's:
New buses:
Angel: 19 Streetdecks 17 PVR + 2 Spares
Tyne Tees Express: 6 Street decks +1 spare
Red Arrows: 14 PVR – 2 spares
Cascades:
B5LH
Coaster (PVR 13 PVR – 2 spares)
B9’s
Tyne Tees Express
4 to Hexham/Riverside for the TEN
1 to Percy Main for the Cobalt Clipper (spare)
1 to Stanley for the Red Kite
Red Arrow
14 B9’s to spare roles replacing 14 Presidents
B7’s (from various depots)
B7’s in to a spare role replacing 7 Presidents
Omnicities
5251, 52, 54, 61 - 72 to Chester for 13/14/X25 and for the 28/28A
5273, 5274 - spares
Total new buses:
39 new Streetdecks
Total Cascades:
16 Omnicites to Chester
7 B7’s to various depots
Withdrawals:
15 older Scania’s
21 Presidents (B7/Trident)
Vykings start to be replaced by Omnidekka’s from Brighton (if we get more than the 2 known)
