Each contract is different, but I'd imagine this one would utilise some of the coaches based at Hexham or either of the coaches in the newly created Special Events fleet. In July, Go North East used at least one coach from Hexham on a rail replacement service (see photo here).
One of the Northern contracts between Newcastle and Metrocentre earlier this year was operated by Streetlites:
