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.
I saw a LP Solo on the 28/29 when I was in Newcastle, which according to bustimes was 690, also 680 apparently was on the 4 this morning.
