The Streetlites would proably be a better fit IMHO as they could be used on other Ashington based services if needed.

Aye agreed, mind I don't think they'll move the Streetlite's out as they're dual door and don't have an emergency door so would be expensive to convert. The London forums is all speculation atm but it's pretty certain that there's going to be some 12 Plate classic Enviro 200's going but let's hope they stay well clear for obvious reasons.

Another speculation is the 9.7m ENR's which are also single door Enviro 200 MMC's but they're too long for up here (33 seats). It's a bit of guess what right now but something is very likely going.
