It would simply stop the conversation if we simply said "this years orders are 100 buses which are 50 Mercedes Citaro euro 6, 25 ADL400s and 25 Volvo B8s", which of course there's not 100 buses on order.

That's good.
Have we got a date for when the new buses will start to arrive?

Na, i think it wouldn't, it would bring in to convo of where cascades will go.

Wonder if they'll be done after the B9's?, although, they seem to of stopped refurbishing them atm.
(25 Apr 2019, 6:57 pm)L469 YVK wrote Any StreetDecks or MetroDeckers in the order?
If there's no streetlites, i'm gonna guess they'll have no streetdecks on order... i could be wrong, can't see them ordering Metrodeckers either.
Have a feeling, we will see an influx of ADL buses...

I'm just trying to spark debate! It was true with Martijn Gilbert saying there was 33 double deckers and 11 single decks though!

Not sure if this is simply a thowaway line, or deliberate misinformation designed to confuse .....

Post 155 is pretty much spot on. Only they’ve added 1 more double decker to the order, 11 singles and 34 doubles from 2 suppliers
RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Malarkey - 25 Apr 2019
I think the 11 single decks will be Optare Versa XFE's then the deckers will be ADL E400MMC's.

Could the extra decker be for the Castles Express PVR increase?

Still think they will go for streetdecks but go for E200 for singles

Nothing from Optare.

Good shout....maybe there could be 2 separate suppliers of singles or doubles!!
(25 Apr 2019, 10:03 pm)L469 YVK wrote Could the extra decker be for the Castles Express PVR increase?
My thoughts are 6332 will provide the PVR increase.

Hmmm if there were 2 suppliers for DD; say ADL for E200 and E400, would it be possible for the these to be stationed at the same depot.......?
And the if Wright was the other DD supplier, would the streetdecks go where a similar vehicle type is already in operation?

Whilst there has been no mention of which depots will get what from the order, in time there'll be further team briefings of who'll get what and what routes they'll go on. And no doubt our MD will tweet pictures in the near future. However in my opinion the E200 & E400 will probably go to different depots, as for streetdecks, again i would imagine they'll not go to Chester, maybe not crook either. I suppose it all depends on what numbers you think have been ordered.

Maybe streetdecks for 10? With remaining for X1? B5s already at Riverside

Just my thoughts....with the hope of the 10 B9s going to crusader and X1 B9s replacing some of the older deckers
RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - deanmachine - 26 Apr 2019
There's been rumours of deckers cascading for the 20 at Deptford for years, more so with this order, I'll believe it when I see it though.

Martijn has already confirmed 11 singles with Optare & Streetlites ruled out so far, 33 Doubles (although 34 have been ordered), again Optare Metrodeckers have been ruled out on this forum. Guess there'll be huge speculation on here to what's been ordered and where they'll go and what cascades will take place as a result.

Single deckers to Washington for the 4 - Enviro 200
Deckers to:
Hexham/Riverside for the TEN (16 + 2 Spare) - B5TL
Consett for the Red Kites (14 + 2 spare) - Enviro 400
Cascades:
Citaro's to Riverside for Green Arrow
Streetlites from Red Kite to Chester to replace some of the Versa (to the 13/14/X25 still interwork after changes or i'm i completely wrong?)
B9's from Red Kite and TEN - Honestly not sure, probables replace Omnidekka's in to spare role, meaning the Omnidekka's will replace the older deckers in the fleet.
RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Rapidsnap - 26 Apr 2019
What no MetroDeckers.... BORING.
Guess I have to go to York for my MetroDecker fix.
Could be Volvo B8RLE with MCV Evora bodies or Volvo B5TL with MCV Evoseti bodies

I only mentioned because if X1 gets DD or other they could go on to replace Coaster and what would leave question of where they could go. However timetable would need to be sorted to make passenger number count.

Got the inside scoop on what the single deckers are but I don't think I will tell any of you.

That's what I was told when speaking with the other driver who came along with Dan from GNE and the EYMS driver on 396 this afternoon.
RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - L469 YVK - 28 Apr 2019
Wonder if GNE for the decker orders (given the nature of the alleged routes) have ordered the ADL E400MMC Bodywork with either the following:
- Scania N250UD
- Dennis Trident 2
- Volvo B5TL
- Volvo B8L
