19 x E400 MMC DD (Ashington)
6 x E400 MMC DD (Blyth)
14 x BYD EV DD (Blyth)
14 x BYD EV DD (Durham) 
14 x Wrightbus Kite EV Midi (Darlington)
7 x Wrightbus Kite EV SD (Darlington)
6 x E400 MMC DD (Redcar)

28 x ADL E200 MMC 6.7 litre (TBC)
- Stockton have apparently been told they are getting 18 of these, but I understand that might have changed.
10 x Volvo Evora SD (TBC)

Total - 118. One third of the fleet.

(Edited to add missing 1).

Further update on this, 28 ADL E200 MMC 6.7 litre are allocated as:

10 to Darlington and 18 to Redcar. 

Volvo Evora SD:

10 to Stockton

Volvo B9 from Redcar will move to Ashington when the new E400s arrive.

Also, rumours that 4 of the 2022(72) batch of E400 MMC from Midlands are coming north within the next few weeks. 2 to be allocated to Blyth and 2 to Redcar for Park and Ride (instead of moving the 2016 Durham ones).
