What will happen then to the Ommis based there? I've read that these are due to be 're-furbished, just hope we ain't gonna lose them?
Unless the cascade plans have changed recently, then the Streetlites will obviously be on X3/X4 full time and then 6 Volvo B10BLEs are due to arrive from Northumbria (mix of Jesmond/Ashington I think) - this should see off all of the R-COO's and 1638, the older mini Darts (1737, 1743 etc), and the Prestiges/ALX300s. The Scania Omnicities based at Redcar are down for Max refurbishment, and will then be allocated to Darlington.
