Could Sunderland be in line for some new vehicles possibly? I know the new vehicle order had been scaled back but them ALX300s are in desperate need of replacement soon, they must be some of the oldest single deckers left in the whole Stagecoach fleet.

Don't they serve the E buses mainly? If so could be part of the South Tyneside funding, the 5/50 got done as part of it and they don't run anywhere near Newcastle. Just assumptions there though.
