No doubt GNE will want to take advantage of their fuel savings and use them on the later 307/309 trips (which get a new bus & driver sent out in North Shields) and the Sunday 307/353 workings.
I feel like a good chunk of the Streetdecks really need to move onto Hownsgill to replace the remaining 4 Voyagers, Ex GNW Deckers and the 2 Dual E400 to get them off front line service. If they do head to Percy Main, it does release Streetlites to replace the remaining Versas and some of the 63 plate ones. Whatever way they do it they really need to sort Hownsgill out.
Potentially could see the B5s move to Consett after the X20 changes, suppose it depends on interworking patterns.
