It's been very quiet at Sunderland recently, and I don't think drivers have even been informed of the gas bus conversion on services 3/13 yet, nevermind the movements which will occur as a result of the buses entering service...

For reference, this post contains the movements which I think are most likely (they are the most sensible, after all). I do think that two Pointer 2s will also be released.

Although the official fleet allocation suggests otherwise, the allocation at Sunderland would therefore become:

- 3: Scania E300 (PVR 9) with 1 Scania spare.
- 4: ADL Enviro 200 (PVR 11) with 1 E200 spare.
- 5/5A: ADL Enviro 200 (PVR 3) with no spares.
- 8: Dennis Dart SLF (PVR 2) with no spares.
- 10/11: ADL Enviro 200 (PVR 10) with 1 E200 spare.
- 12: MAN ALX300 (PVR 4) with 2 ALX300s spare.
- 13: Scania E300 (PVR 11) with 2 E300s spare.
- 16: Scania E300 (PVR 10) with 1 E300 spare.
- 18/19: MAN Enviro 200 (PVR 6) with no spares.
- 20: Scania E300 (PVR 5) with 1 E300 spare.
- 23: ADL Enviro 200 (PVR 8) with 1 E200 spare.

Think/hope I've added up the vehicles correctly. The ALX300s in reality would probably be used as the main backup for services 3, 13, 16 and 20 - should the spare gas buses not be enough.
