I don't think there's a date set in stone whereby the current Solo SRs will be relieved of their duties on Nexus work and replaced by newer Euro 6 vehicles.
If Go North East's tendered services actually generate more revenue than the North Tyne Links services (which I doubt, but who knows..?), then I'd suggest that, in 2016, the "Nexus" Solo SRs would be replaced and allocated to the North Tyne Links network instead. Incidentally, this is also when the vehicles are roughly due a repaint.
Mere speculation though - I doubt it's even been fully thought through yet. Another two year's worth of orders to get through yet!
