Go North East: 2014/15 Financial Year Order Predictions
Go North East: 2014/15 Financial Year Order Predictions
(15 Mar 2015, 11:06 am)Dan Streetlites have been ordered for service X66. As I said before, it's a different vehicle type for the four citaro5284 has mentioned.
We have established that the single deck orders are Streetlites. So really, the four vehicles citaro5284 has mentioned can only be minibus, midibus or double deck... Which service(s) have a PVR of 3 (with 1 spare) or 4?

(15 Mar 2015, 11:19 am)tyresmoke I was thinking more along the lines of when 5337/8 came up and we're swapped with 4 Cadets from the NE fleet, what are Brighton swapping in exchange for the bendys they have received? Or were they made possible by cascades from the X66 that GNE didn't have a need for and were withdrawn several months early.

So far i have services with 3 PVR or 4 PVR:
5 – PVR 4
X7 – PVR 3 (Although unlikely, unless it goes half hourly, once again doubt it)
13/14 – 3 PVR
15/15A – 3 PVR
19 – 4 PVR
38 – 3 PVR (agree with Tom)
X84/X85 - PVR 4
700 – 3 PVR (701 – 1 PVR) – Contract due to be renewed From July this year.
FFS, once again, i can't remember the PVR of these!
X30/X31
X70/X71
(15 Mar 2015, 11:25 am)Robert DFDS 327? Especially with the lolynes having to be withdrawn by the end of next year...better to get them replaced sooner rather than later.

(15 Mar 2015, 11:31 am)tyresmoke There's some 55 plate Scania double decks being refurbished ex London for Hedingham at the moment so you might be in with a shout with this one. Having said that they've just been rebranded recently although I would think that would be paid for by DFDS so not a huge issue?

(15 Mar 2015, 11:37 am)Robert Suppose the same could be said for the ex-X66 Citaros. They had been repainted and rebranded in such a complex livery and then a year later, they were withdrawn and out of the fleet.

I'm thinking an upgrade for X84/X85 is most likely, thought I'm not sure they justify deckers - unless the vehicles are cascaded Mercs or other single decker.
I can't see the X7 getting newer vehicles - unless of course, it is been increased in frequency even just to Peterlee or Station Town, to try and rival the X21 even more? If it is for X7, it'll have to be Mercs.
Mind if it is Mercs, I wonder if they are been used as spares, rather than allocated to a new service? One could argue having 5337/5338 at Stanley has been successful on the diamond, and having some spare Mercs at Deptford/Riverside, may be a good idea as spares for 61, Laser, Crusader & Blaydon Racers.
If it's not Mercs, I haven't a clue where they going - I can't think of any route that require Deckers or a route that needs minibuses that has a PVR of 3/4.
(15 Mar 2015, 5:33 pm)Davie I think the omnicities off the Coaster should transfer to Washington for services 82/82A/85/ & 86 with cadets transfering to Stanley to replace some Olympians and Streetlites or versas for services 1 &1A. I doubt this will happen

(15 Mar 2015, 6:49 pm)Michael The 82/82A/85/86 don't get many passengers, so its pointless putting them on those routes.
