Then the shorter Versa's could go on the Hexham services until the contracts are renewed, if they get them for a few years then they can fork out for replacements.
Depends what goes where, the 57 is still running with Euro 5 buses atm. Can't see them using Versa's at Hexham. It's a low cost depot for a reason, there's no need for bigger buses imo.
The fact they've been trialing things over there would suggest that they've got plans to get a few new buses. I doubt they'd lose the contracts though it's been Arriva / GNE since forever pretty much.
