Depots with omnidekkas are:
Percy main
Riverside(for jewish scholars)
Stanley
Chester-le-street
Crook
Only washington and peterlee have never had omnidekkas so quite hard to speculate as of yet
(23 Jun 2018, 11:06 am)S813 FVK wrote Speculation itself is quite an easy thing to do. Actually getting it right and not causing any confusion when it isn't worded in a way which suggests its only speculation is the hardest bit.
What I said was only a starter for anyone interested. If you more closely, such as 6124/5/31 still carrying Toon Link branding, you can get a rough idea of where some of this intake of 18 are likely to head off to.
As a side note, Washington have had Omnidekkas before, it's just Deptford (excluding 6133's visit for promotional purposes and 6141's loan) and Peterlee that haven't.

Plus has 6015 really been sold because it is in Percy Main depot today with 4974?
(23 Jun 2018, 1:50 pm)Michael wrote There's going to be 18 arriving (3 already here), only a handful of presidents remain, so should see them replaced and hopefully the other omnidekka's replace the current older ones, meanjng they could move in to the special events fleet replacing the Vykings then any of the ex London Gemini's can be added to the special events fleet, if needed.

Thanks - you may want to fine-tune on the detail included on our fleet list.
Not too sure on some of the liveries, nor was I sure on which buses had which features. For now, anyway!

(25 Jun 2018, 6:33 pm)Dan wrote There's two of those at Riverside - the first of that batch to be amalgamated into the GNE fleet.
They form part of the 34 being acquired to operate the Tall Ships services.
