Also doubt 10s will get refurbed and more likely go end up replacing older DD like the 11 plates.

E200 probably more likely for 12 and 57 to help meet CAZ in 2021. Possibly even Quaylinks

Deckers for the Crusader?

Some reason, i don't think they'll refurb anymore B9's, although i could be wrong!


With the 6 and 12/12A interworking from January 26th, its possible they might get new buses, but hoping Blaydon Racers brand is dropped so its just GNE.


I do hope we see new buses on the Quaylink, although, 23 is a high number for just 1 brand, maybe in the next few years, phasing them in so Q1/Q2 first, then the Q3?



I was hoping we would see new buses on the 56, but its not happening, as its confirmed for repaint and a new brand "Newcastle Sunderland Citylink", probables looking at the start of January for those repaints to begin.

Do hope its black and red...
