These would replace the remaining 3 High Floor Deckers (Olympian 7367 and Spectras 7482/3) plus DAF DB250s 7459-64 (T306-11 FGN) and the two due to join from the Classic fleet very shortly (T320 FGN and T421 GGO).

Not mentioned previously, but during March, the service operations of Classic will join the main Arriva operation. This includes their Nexus contracts and their NHS Shuttle between the two main Newcastle Hospitals. As such, in addition to the 2 mentioned DB250s, 5 Dart SLF/Caetano Nimbus will also move to join the main fleet for the work.

Does this mean Jesmond will gain all the classic fleet!
Makes sense Using B7s on x93,allowing the Enviro400s to ashington as the standard decker used in that depot.What will happen to their Daf250s?
Belmont's look to be in good order!
