I don't believe the Metrocentre would be too worried if Go North East offered to provide a more frequent service in return for the removal of articulated vehilces.
With SPD vehilces in the fleet, one wonders what will happen to the final branded SPD 8228. Prehaps a Wright Solar/Scania L94 could be branded for Tynedale Link services as its replacement?
