Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions
I can't see the Waggonway getting an upgrade. They left those dilapidated unreliable rust bucket DAFs on for years without concern

In my opinion, the Waggonway Scanias will come in useful if they are to be replaced, because they can replace older vehicles in the fleet.

This might sound daft but could the following not happen:
- 16+2 spare deckers for Riverside / Hexham (spares fitted with Tacho)
- 6084 becomes dedicated TTX spare
- 6071 to 6083 transfer to Washington for X1
- 6001 to 6007 and 6049 to 6051 transfer to Stanley for Northerns with 6052 as spare.
- 6054 / 6055 remain at Washington and either see service go back upto every 10 minutes Mon-Fri or they just get used on Saturdays (or if needed during week). If the former, plug sockets fitted on them 2x.
- 6053 acts as a spare for Washington (no plug sockets like 6054/55.
- OmniDekkas begin to replace Presidents / Vykings thus taking a more back seat role.
- Would free up 5x B7TL Geminis or 7x if the Angel got new buses with spares.

With recent changes to the Sunderland area appearing on VOSA, some amends to my predication's:
As we know: Streetlites are RUMORED for Blaydon Racers...
Blaydon Racers Citaro's to be allocated to the X5/X6 along with the current ones remaining on the X7, X5/X6 will also offer WIFI.(we don't know the frequancy of each route so i can't say how many Citaro's will be allocated to X5/X6/X7.
Scania's from the X5 (Current X35) will replace the B10's and some older Scania's in the fleet

(15 Oct 2016, 12:30 pm)beefcake As far as I'm aware, only 5211 got fully repainted, minus the route vinyls along the top. One of the others (5204 I think) only has a couple of pawprint vinyls near side and a couple have bits of orange paint visible

(15 Oct 2016, 12:33 pm)S813 FVK 5204 was also repainted from Prince Bishops. I think 5206 is the solar you are on about.
(15 Oct 2016, 1:09 pm)cbma06 there was some solars got painted into prince bishop livery when the service got extended to shields, and then shortly after the streetlites arrived.

(15 Oct 2016, 1:16 pm)Andreos1 Yeah, sure there was more than one ex-purple Solar that ended up black.
It just seems two minutes since those Solar's went black.
I think the Solar's that were painted purple for the Shields extension were that colour for about a year.

X5 is the X35 renumbered.
X6 and X7 are hourly, combining into every 30 minutes to Seaham. X6 via Dalton Park and A19, Burnhope Way. X7 via route as now, Essington Way.
X6 via Arriva 23 route to Hartlepool, but to the Marina instead of Victoria Rd.
X7 terminates on a loop of Pennine Drive and Oakerside
