If this is going to happen and there are already another 9 Pelican Yutong on the way could there be services going to other way from riverside to Chester. I'm not sure what capacity is like at riverside but that's potentially 27 new vehicles and charging infrastructure on top of the 9 EVs already there and everything else.

I think the capacity is 29/30. 

Tbh, with Go-Ahead realistically not buying very little desiel vehicles in the next couple of years, it's okay everyone saying they'll move to Riverside, but what if the 309/10/11 bid is sucessful are they also going to move to riverside. Aswell as the other 9 on order for presumably the 57. 

+ Tynedale Links bid (granted I don't think hexham would need a new depot) will that include not only minibuses, but other vehicles for the 684...or the 689 (which is consett operated). Consett depot being only a few years old, I doubt they would have not thought about the future adding electric vechiles and there is a lot of space around the depot, so electrifying consett i don't see will be a massive issue. 

Its mainley CLS/Percy Main/Deptford/Washington (granted Washington's fleet is relatively young). that I am wondering where they are going to place stuff. Or are they just going to transfer all new electric buses to Riverside, and replace the older Mercedes with 17' Plate Streetlites  or 63' Versa's when they get replaced with electric buses. And the other depots just get the left over and no new buses...Which is basically against what CAZ was introduced for. SC is doing the same.
