Well the decker PVRs for Ashington & Jesmond are as follows
- X21/X22 - 15
- X14 - 3
- X15 - 4
- X18 - 5 (6 summer)
- 43 - 7
- 44/45 -12

The X20 is also typically decker allocated too.

Although it doesn't run into Newcastle, the 35 is generally double deck operated too.

Believe the 44/45 PVR is 5?

No clue where the new stock would go for certain, hopefully X15/X18 are in there at least.
