E400s to Hybrids as someone has stated will be a waste
1534-1536 on 685????????? What. These are no where near the spec and would be highly uncomfortable for the length of the 685.
Why remove/Split the Centros up from current bases with no overall gain?
Why would Arriva NE trade recently repainted Solos for MCV Evolutions? There’s no point what so ever. 2 probably doesn’t really need them anyway.
You then withdraw 3 buses for 2. Commanders need to go in fairness. But to be replaced by Wright Cadets? Really.
What do I think? I think you just want lots of type to of vehicles to go on and take pictures.

Pleased someone else has said something as I'm starting look a bit of a dick being the only one picking these suggestions apart.

There's no restrictions on Euro ratings coming in anytime soon for the North East (think Newcastle is 2023) so vast majority of the suggested buses would never be converted especially as some ain't far off withdrawal (some are beyond their shelf life)
