I really don't know why and this is just wild speculation but I really have a feeling we're going to end up with some London cast offs for it within the next year. I know there's a whole batch of Streetlite's without a route now and it's going to push stuff about, there's also a micro fleet of 5 single door 16 Plate 8.9m Enviro 200 MMC's (EN34 - EN38) coming up within the next year, which just happens to be the PVR.

Both of those options would be a welcomed improvement IMHO, as long as they are given a refurb and overhaul like imports from London in the '10s. The Streetlites would proably be a better fit IMHO as they could be used on other Ashington based services if needed.
