Then that frees 14x 14/64/15 plate classic E400. 11x for the 43/44/45 (as well as 7522 already at Jesmond) then 3x spare staying at Ashington.

Where will the 12x E200MMC be going?

Given the need for spares and summer increases I imagine the X14 is more likely to be worked by classic E400 and presumably some older examples will be retained for the 35 replacing 7411/45/46/84/86. At the very least Jesmond need three deckers to replace 7412/15/91, which leaves 11 left over.  Belmont still has 5 Gemini's which will presumably be replaced. Perhaps the remaining six will be used to replace single decks that can in turn replace excess Solo's. The 12 E200's are rumoured for Jesmond (new Newcastle depot) for the Solo operated services.
