They have just repainted the last Blaydon Racer example this week and done the Wear Xpress examples prior to covid-19 so they will be here for a while yet,

I do hope if they decide to refurbish the Versa's, then they can do something to order them by brand, so they follow the same set of fleet numbers because atm, the Versa's are all over.
I can remember the South Tyne when they were at Washington always been off the road or kept local on the 80 series services with a Scania L94 on the 88's in their on a daily basis.
