Xlines Red Streetdecks to Deptford for the 56, with the 56 B9's being allocated to depots to withdraw the remaining older B9s from EYMS/Manchester and the older Enviros 400s.
21 Streetdecks to Percy main to replace the Streetlites which will in turn replace the Versas.
I sort of agree with the SteeetLites - possibly these replace the Mercs on the 4. But if Arriva go all out and do a full re-claim of the Coast Road in reponse to GNE's agreement withdrawal, I could see GNE keeping these at Percy Main and reverting their Coast Road services back to single deckers - especially given Cobalt is nowhere near what it was before covid and GNE's only other secure sources of income are High Farm & Hadrian Park.
Only issue could be match days, but no doubt misc vehicles could be used on such boards and the StreetDecks could cover any evening or Sunday matches.
