Cobalt to Washington. For what exactly I'm sorry are u dumb 

Why would the 307 get the StreetDeck of the 50. I'm sorry but this has to be the most dumb thing ever said on this forum ever

Repaint for 6101 which was effectively in a novelty livery that meant nothing to passengers.

So the 307 & 309 has always had a too 'heavy-duty' vehicle type allocated with GNE trialing GKN mods back in 2014 on the 56 & Cobalt B9TLs to try and reduce fuel consumption. 

The 307 given the local nature would benefit hugely from StreetDecks plus when the evening 307 & 309 interworking pattern has the long layover in North Shields (aka going back to the depot with a new bus & driver picking up the 307), B9TLs could be swapped for StreetDecks.
