Tho with the metro contract ending in December that could massively help.

(12 Nov 2022, 4:25 pm)Dan The Metro Replacement contract releases 27 Euro 6 double-decks back into the main fleet, and GNE are taking additional buses from London on top of this.Really the issue is going to be Euro 6 spares which are upto the spec which the usual buses should have.
Washington have enough single-decks to run the 25 and 28/29 without issue, they just need to allocate the correct buses.
Riverside and Percy Main probably are a bit thin on the ground on Euro 6 double-deck spares at the moment (though this was to be expected as 3941-43/62-65 were used for the Metro Replacement contract due to late delivery of the buses from London), but the ex-London Volvo B9s will assist with this.

Hopefully while not upto spec those 27 will deal with all the issues, are the 27 going to replace all the Dual Door G2's, OmniDekkas & Voyager Deckers?

Are all of Hexham depots Optare Solos euro five?
If so I wonder what is going to happen there? The 74 uses a Solo and now that the 684 inter works with the now year round AD122, that route also heavily uses them.
(13 Nov 2022, 9:11 am)Echolima07 Are all of Hexham depots Optare Solos euro five?They can use Ex-Cathedral Buses 717/718 for 74, hopefully they might even add USB's to them.

And possibly just upgrade 684 to Euro 6 Deckers.
Then the versa's up Hexham can be moved to Riverside as spare.
(13 Nov 2022, 9:10 pm)Storx No-one knows yet, been a debate for awhile, the ZEBRA lack of funding messed things up pretty much. The other post was guessing not fact, should probably say.
The 684 appears to interwork with pretty much everything now though.

(13 Nov 2022, 9:33 pm)peter The Hexham interworking is split into two sets of 3
3 Versa's do the 680, 688 and half of the 684
3 Solo's do the AD122, 687 and half of the 684
Then the 74, 681, 683, 689 are all largely standalone with a PVR of 1 each.
If they stick the Cathedral Bus solo's on the 74 that's sorted. If they re-jig the interworking and make the 684 standalone, then 5377/78/79 are already euro 6 for the 684 - it doesn't need deckers.

(16 Nov 2022, 2:49 pm)OrangeArrow49 Recently there has been a Versa on the 74 quite often.
The 684 has been allocated 3 deckers, and Versas and Solo SRs recently.
Are the Cathedral buses getting repainted? 2 buses probably wouldn't be enough for the 74.
Does anyone know how long deckers are going to be on the 684?

(16 Nov 2022, 11:50 pm)peter Since last Thursday one of the Versa boards has been double deck operated (usually 3964) - there have not been 3 deckers allocated - a couple of extra journeys have been covered by deckers running on/off the 643.
Presumably the Versa displaced by 3964 is being used on the 74 maybe because none of the other services are appropriate for a vehicle of that size.
I would assume the Cathedral buses will be repainted...why would they not be, they've lost the contract? In what world do you think 2 buses is not enough for the 74, the PVR is 1, 2 buses is more than sufficient.
