Also to point it out if the 49/49A has recieved streetlites and the durham diamond 16/16A has could potentially see the 57 and 35/35A/36 recieve them too. The only mercedes benz citaros in the fleet without wifi is the see it do it sunderland yet the 57 route is only 1 hour 19 minuteslong but the 35 is 106(?) minutes long which in my eyes it should have wifi.

I would also go with the 93/94, given the fact that the is 9 (07 Reg) Citaros = 8 Branded + 1 Spare, with the Solars going into Corporate Livery, as it does look like the 54 reg solars will be gradually replacing 2001/2002 batch of Solars across multiple depots, this already started to take place with the former Fast Cats batch replacing the 52 reg Solars which are being converted in Driver Trainers, I wouldn't be suprised to see the Green Arrows upgraded via Cascades once further New Vehicles arrive either.

While I do think the Omnicities will be replaced on the 12/12A due to depot standardisation, I don't see why Stanley would need them, so I would think the 12/12A would operated by Solars in the future with the Omnicities going over to Chester le Street for the 28/28A, again like above replacing the older batch of Solars.
