• Volvo B5LH's would transfer to Stanley for the Red Kite, remaining spares would be allocated to the Kites/Toon Link
  
• Wright Streetlites 5409 to 5419 would transfer to Riverside for the 97/97A/X97
  
• Volvo B9's from the Red Kite would be allocated to the 15/15A
  

This vehicle allocation wouldn't happen in a million years.

Operators cannot claim an enhanced rate of BSOG payment (an extra 6p/km BSOG) for the Volvo B5TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 3. On a stop/start service like the 21, you don't need the extra power of a Volvo B5TL.

It is much more likely that Go North East would order Wright StreetDecks for the Angel, most likely with stop/start technology, for fleet standardisation at Chester-le-Street.
