Just been reading through the list of buses, I was just thinking of which vehicles need replacing in the short term that haven't already been withdrawn...

Optare Solo SRs: 641/644/645/721 & 723 at both Consett and Hexham.

Merc Citaros: 5358 - 61, 63 - 68 possible to be cascaded elsewhere?

Yutong CB12s: 5499/5500 possible to be replaced?

Volvo B9TLs/Gemini's: 6177, 6179, 6181, 6184, 6185, 6187, 6188, 6190 - 6194 & 6196

ADL E400s: 6944, 45, 47 - 50, 52, 54*, 55, 56 & 58*

Optare Olympus: 6970*/6974/6976*

Optare Versa's: 8314/8316/8321/ 8322/8324/8326/8327 & 8328.

With 6193/94 & 96 being the dedicated buses for a private school contract, I'm unsure whether these would be withdrawn, especially given they are Euro 6 compliant.

* Suggested to already be withdrawn.
