Let’s hope they have a plan for some newer vehicles to be brought in. Stealing from Northumberland every summer won’t help with loads up there!

I just think it's bonkers that there's currently 10 16 Plate Streetdeck's sitting around in London collecting dust right now and have been since around September with no use for them since they're such a microfleet.
Complete waste, could easily be the solution for this mess, by converting them to single door, sending them to Yorkshire to join their batch down there and them sending some Enviro's up here, even if it's a temporary solution.
@megan, I'd be very surprised if it's the biggest money maker (assuming with Arriva). I'd say with fair confidence that the Stagecoach 39/40 are the most profitable route in the North East.
