No Idea to be honest, Bus & Coach World of Blackburn ? has refurbished vehicles for Arriva North East in the past, they did several of the Stockton Depot Cadets 19xx series a few years ago.
Given the volume of refurbished vehicles required, I guess they are sharing the work between the two Company's perhaps to meet launch deadlines ?.
