4x new buses for 327 this will allow 3866,67 to be withdrawn and 3890,1 to replace plaxton presidents.
2x omnidekkas allowing 3876,7 to be withdrawn
Im not sure if GNE have a plan for them but i think its a shame they dont meet dda.
Could GNE make them DDA complaint alike the B10S?
I think it's more likely that stock from Brighton & Hove will release Dennis Tridents from Stanley to Percy Main similar to the existing allocation.

No.
6034 was only a float/reserve vehicle at Percy Main (covering for 6104 which was having the GKN flywheel removed).
It stayed for a few weeks longer, but has now been released to Chester-le-Street (temporarily forming part of the allocation here), allowing 3983 to transfer to Riverside, which will allow a further Volvo B10BLE to be withdrawn later this month after the Blyth Tall Ships event.
3974 was the Vyking on service 1 yesterday and I believe it covered one journey due to a breakdown/incident.
