That was 5420 (NK16 BYA) which arrived a few days ago - it was parked around the side of the depot later, ahead of the arrival of 5423 (NK16 BYD), which was delivered at approximately 13:00:

Go North East - 54xx - NK16xxx by aureolindn, on Flickr

5421 (NK16 BYB) and 5422 (NK16 BYC) are both due to be delivered this afternoon too.

I understand 5423 (NK16 BYD) will be the first example to be branded up on Monday, so I'd probably disregard the rumours suggesting one of these will make an appearance at the Metrocentre Bus Rally on Sunday.

It's much too early for me to suggest anything!

Look out for more buses shooting over to Salties for a blue repaint over the coming weeks, and keep an eye out for teasers on Go North East's website and Social Media...

I think that the Streetlites will be drip-fed into service - one batch every Saturday, starting from the 7th May. Deptford should receive one next Tuesday or Wednesday for familiarisation. Shouldn't take too long as there's only minor changes to the cab layout compared to the Drifters.

It was reported that it was due to be withdrawn - not that it had been withdrawn.

542 was only withdrawn from service this morning (after operating three journeys on services 2/2A) and sent to Saltmeadows around noon.

Will the X36 be dropped from the Fast Cats?

I'd imagine that it will just be the 53 and 54 reg examples that will be repainted blue and all the older 51, 02 Scania's will be going corporate?

The Fast Cats were only repainted and rebranded about a year ago?

Just a stab in the dark.... as the 19 is currently allocated corporate livered vehicles, 4973 and other Scanias could be recieving a new version of Cobalt branding. 4979-4982 would then transfer elsewhere.

Not a bad idea - 4978-82 could go on the 17 with another couple of Scanias and branded up.

Is it worth branding them though? Considering 4967-4976 were new in 2003 with the B7RLEs new a year later.

I would like to see the Citaros allocated to the more demanding services, Blaydon Racers and The Crusader wastes there ability in my opinion.
Look at the X7 Examples, Still a lot left in them after being on there for nearly 2 years now.

I guess that it depends on how much funding Cobalt is giving to subsidise the service or is willing to give in order to brand up the vehicles.
