It's entirely possible that the X10 could have been re-routed to serve Peterlee Bus Station, and the X7 could have been told to wait for ten minutes.

So going by the fleet lists on here, these are the buses coming up to 5 years without a repaint…(some had no date so just guessing)
545
546
555-560
3864
3865
3873-3879
4970-72 (which will get done after 4968)
4978-4982
5144-5150
5275-5283
5310-5319
5320-5324
Not sure to include the national express coaches but here they are: 7092-7102
I think the MPDs and Lolynes are good contenders for repaint this year, and I also think that the Volvo B7RLEs will be repainted too (given that the Toon Link has been strongly suggested for investment this year).
I think the Volvo B10BLEs will be withdrawn directly in the same colour as now, should the Toon Link receive investment.
I doubt that the Blaydon Racers Mercs will be repainted this year.
I don't think 5310-19 were repainted when transferred to the TEN, just branding removed... I will confirm this at some point this week.
5320-24 were repainted, I must have missed those out accidentally.

This is where panels have been replaced where the buses have had small bumps and they've been unable to match the colours. Gold is a pretty hard colour to match.
