Well 2016 will see us introduce a new type to the fleet here in the North East... A handful of Optare Tempo's are due to transfer from the Yorkshire fleet. They currently operate from Castleford depot on service 189 between Wakefield, Castleford and Leeds.

Wonder how many examples we'll get and where they will go? I'm going to guess that the ALX300's will be withdrawn when the Tempo's Arrive. The remaining Cadets are likely to be living on borrowed time.

I heard from a friend living down Leeds that those Tempo's were due to be converted to MAX specification. Might not be true but I just thought I might throw it in there.

That was the original plan. They are now being replaced by new deckers to MAX spec in the Yorkshire fleet.

Not moved since we got them!
Worth mentioning that 1906 & 1909 are now withdrawn as they're not DDA friendly.
Our dead corner is now looking rather full!

What about 1912, 1914 and 1916? According to our fleet lists, these haven't yet been modified to become DDA-compliant?

1912 I think died a few weeks back.
1914 returned to service following DDA modification on the 21st December. 1916 is also now DDA.

Are any new deckers rumoured to be arriving in the North East this year?

i would think that the ALX300'S may get cascaded as spare buses
