More might of been done since then but believe 10 of the 11 plates and all the 63 plates were upgraded to euro 6

Black Cat Streetlites to Riverside - Versa to Deptford
6901-05 from Riverside to Percy Main - 5264,5266-68 and 5271 to Riverside
Streetlites to Percy Main in exchange for the Hybrids

2/2A are gaining the Versas off Quaylink - 8332 has been sighted at Saltmeadows in its new Purple/Red livery
Q1/Q2 gaining Streetlites under a new guise with a slightly familiar name from its past…
(15 Jun 2021, 1:48 pm)Michael wrote Oops I missed "Consett" out... Consett Streetlites to Percy Main* - also it was just a summary of what had already been post on here - wasn't confirming anything.
So is the 39 keeping the Streetlites?
(15 Jun 2021, 1:56 pm)Kuyoyo wrote What I’ve put is correct from what I’ve seen mentioned
The Consett ones are likely to go on the Q1/Q2 - since there’s not enough of them to replace the B5Ls on the Coaster like for like
The bulk of the Deptford Streetlites will be off to Percy Main - likelihood is minimum of 14 Streetlites to Percy Main (Coaster is PVR 13 plus at least a spare) and the rest to Riverside as spares for the Q1/Q2 and the 49/49A

(15 Jun 2021, 2:37 pm)Storx wrote Even if it didn't there's not enough buses since the vaccine bus and some of them went down to Manchester. I don't believe there's any Solo's free anywhere to move onto it (I could be wrong though) - the X20 ones have been painted in Sunderland colours.Unless theres some more upcoming cuts we dont know about yet
(15 Jun 2021, 2:30 pm)Storx wrote Interested to see the rest of the changes as there's still a few things unaccounted for atm namely:Don't think any of them have been mentioned.
- The extra 5 Coaster deckers (the 16/16A only need 10 buses max).
- The 19 allocation as it doesn't really have anything atm and there's not enough Little Coaster Solos anymore and it can't use deckers (poss more Streetlites but seems a waste?)
- The 12/25/57/74/327 Euro 6 buses
- Plans for the ex Red Kite Streetlites who still don't have a home - used on the X20 until recently.
- The X20 Solos also don't have an allocation, possibly pushing out some of the Streetlites?
(15 Jun 2021, 2:42 pm)Michael wrote Could the Ex Red Kite Streetlites go on the 39/39A? - the PVR is 7 - since its losing the Streetlites.
The X-Lines X20 solo's are currently getting repainted, in to what looks a "Sunderland Base" livery - So its likely they could end up on the 33/38/38A/938 = PVR 5 then have the other Solo as a spare and the X6 - as fleet livery Solo.
All above are Euro 5 ^

No changes for Little Coasters then?
Interesting changes.
(15 Jun 2021, 3:58 pm)GNE6312 wrote I'd recommend a name change as they're not that much smaller than a single decker (15 seat difference) so they're only slightly smaller coasters when the Streetlites come.If it's not as big then surely it would still class as little. Unless you want to change the name to slightly smaller coasters

I've read through the entire thread and the only thing I'm sure of is that buses are moving!
(15 Jun 2021, 7:35 pm)Jimmi wrote From what I can gather from the posts...
1A/1B - ex Black Cats Lites.
2/2A - Versas (presumably ex Quaylinks)
16/16A - B5LHs.
Q1/Q2 (presumably becoming some form of throwback to the Orbit) - ex Durham Diamond Lites.
