As already mentioned, it will be just near to Chilli Rd Metro Station off Shields Road. Link above is the planning application.


Site plan shows space for 41 vehicles - which suggests around 36 or 37 PVR potential.
There is a document on there that shows Newcastle Run-Out, with 51 vehicles shown. 17 of these vehicles (mainly 306/52/53/54) are all marked with X (perhaps means they are not going to be there), leaving 34 vehicles not marked with X. Are these the services that are expected to be located here? Seems to add up with the space...

The numbers certainly seem to add up on the Blyth end too. The depot plans there have space for 43 deckers and 15 singles. The 15 singles would presumably be the 13 Streetlites for the 52/53/54 + 2 spare (Jesmond currently have 14 Streetlites so maybe 1579 brought over from Durham?) and then the current Blyth services have a PVR of 32 with 31 DB300's there. So presumably a few E400's or cascaded vehicles will replace the Pulsars (1493/1501-5) for use on the 306 and as spares.
