Its all happening hopefully we know by end of September time what fleet changes will happen and where everything is going
I imagine fleet changes will start before September.
I think the MOT expires on all of the DAFs within the fleet by the end of August. You can say that the vehicles will be taken out of service a week prior to this date so that they can be prepared for withdrawal and sent to Hexham for storage until they are scrapped.
Fleet movements will need to come into play to accommodate these changes, as Chester-le-Street only have 27 "Northern" branded vehicles (inc. 2x "M-Ticket" branded), with some already being utilised on services that are not held within a brand.
Not forgetting the Citaros for the M1 also, doubt they'd release the Solars off the M1 until the New Buses have arrived and are branded etc, As for the DAF's on the Waggonway/Lambton Worm I think they'll use whatever is spare at the time, baring in mind the Scholars Services will be in effect again by then
