Isn't there 14 Enviro 200 MMC's which I'm assuming are going to be MPD length (8.5m I think) to replace the Solo's there coming. I do agree with the rest of it though mind pretty much, but the X7-X11 will need more buses than that as there is currently Pulsars on daily, believe roughly 3 boards on the X7/X8/X9.
Personally though my random guess is:
Ashington:
1/2 - 8x Pulsar
35 - 2x Pulsar (1493 / 1501) / 2x Enviro 400 MMC
X20 - 2x Enviro 400 MMC / 2x Pulsar (1408 / 1411)
X21/X22 - Enviro 400 MMC
X14 - Pulsar (1502 - 1505) - Interworking with something??
X15 - Enviro 400 MMC
X18 - 6x Enviro 400 MMC
57/57A - Unknown
Blyth:
X7/X8/X9 - 14x Gemini
X10/X11 - ??? (7529 - 7533, 7553 - 7556 maybe?)
306/308 - 17x Gemini
52/53/54 - Streetlites
Jesmond:
43/44/45 - 6x Enviro 400 (7522 / 7524 - 7528) / 8x Pulsar (1500 / 1537 - 1543)
47 - Pulsar
685 - Pulsar (Sapphires)
Minibuses - Enviro 200 MMC
Other Depots:
X93/X94 Spares - 7557 / 7558 - 7560 / 7562
X46 - 7514 - 7517 / 7519 - 7521
B7TL Spare replacement - 7501 - 7509 / 7511 - 7512 (Spread between Blyth, Jesmond and Durham - maybe some at Ashington aswell).
I'm expecting to be very wrong
Yeah you're right it is 14, not sure where I got 12 from lol, that would be enough to replace 14 of the current 16 Solo's, presumably the last two will also get the boot.
Personally I think it'll be:
Ashington:
1/2: 8 x Pulsar (1407/9/29/32/61/62/63/75)
35: 5 x ADL E400 (7509-12/14)
57/57A/58: 5 x Optare Solo (2845-49)
X14: 2 x ADL E400 + 1 x Pulsar (7515/16/1408)
X15: 4 x New MMC's
X18: 5 x New MMC's
X20: 4 x New MMC's
X21/X22: 7544-7552 + 6 x New MMC's
Spare: 1411, 1497, 2842-44, 7517, 7541-7543 (allocated to X14 if no MMC's VOR)
Blyth:
X7/X8/X9: 14 x Gemini (7601-8/11-15 + 1 E400)
X10/11: 8 x Gemini (7616-17/20-25)
308: 10 x Gemini (7628-7637)
43: 7 x E400 (7501-7507)
52/53/54: 13 x Streetlite (1575-78/81-89)
Spare: 1574, 7508, 7557/8/60/62
Newcastle:
46/46A/51/51A: 5 x New E200
47: 1 x Pulsar (1499)
55: 3 x New E200
553: 2 x New E200
555: 1 x New E200
685: 3 x Pulsar (1479/1512/1513)
306: 8 x Pulsar (1495/96/1500-1505)
44/45: 5 x Pulsar (1537-41)
Spare: 1480, 1493, 1542/43, 3 x New E200
Not sure if I've left enough spares but potentially: 7522-7528, 7529-7533, 7553-7556 could all go to the North East depots
