EDIT: Driver was just playing with the blind - on short X35 now, which means it's going on the 38 anyway.
I can confirm 4955 is indeed on 38 as it passed me this morning at Tunstall Bank.

Drifter Cadets go Northern for 36.
Simplicity Versas go to 61, Temporaily.
Prince Bishop Solars (10) go to North Tyne Links.
Prince Bishop Solars (2) go to OK Way.
MetroLink Solars (5) go to Waggonway.
MetroLink Solars (4) go to Lambton Worm.
Fab FiftySix Solars (8) go to Doxford Clipper.
Saltwell Park Versas (8) go to Washington Street Shuttle.
Drifter Versas (5) go to 61.
Drifter Versas (3), Simplcity Versas (5), Fab FiftySix Solars (8), MetroLink Solars (2) are left unallocated- possible SPD replacements.
Would personally also like to see some Versas go to Peterlee for East Durham. Some of their buses on the 202, 208, 265, 209 can run reasonably full especially the 202- the two out of 3 times I was on last week I had to stand.
I cannot see Versas being sent to low-cost units like Peterlee, SPDs or Cadets maybe. I also cannot see the North Tyne links jumping from MPDs to Solars. I find it much more likely that Solars would replace Renowns on the Lime, and Renowns to replace the Waggonways. The four remaining Pulse Renowns are due for repaint soon aren't they?
Of course all of this is just speculation at present.
