Thought I would add some details of the tenders that have gone out recently, see the attached PDF file for the latest situation that I'm aware of. I will add more and more detail in here as best as I can.
I'll keep this updated and put the latest info in this top post but feel free to discuss below!

You'll notice some registrations by Classic for the Durham evening work (48A/49/50) and then cancelled at short notice... I believe these were taken on commercially by Arriva again.... All would have been academic come next month anyway I suppose!

Interesting document nonetheless

K1/K2 Killingworth locals - Phoenix Coaches
33 Newcastle - Hollywood Ave - Kingsleys

(13 Feb 2014, 5:56 pm)tyresmoke wrote Slight difference in that being GNE normally run the M2/M3 during the day though? Stagecoach have dropped the 33 entirely and this is a tendered replacement to keep the service running. Will be interesting to see what they use as it is down for a Euro3 vehicle!

They only have three solos, don't they? Or will the K1/K2 be operated by something else, which will interwork with the 17?

(13 Feb 2014, 6:43 pm)tyresmoke wrote K1/K2 has a size restriction on it, nothing bigger than an M710 Solo.
I'm sure it was mentioned recently about Phoenix buying a 53 plate Solo though, so they would have 4. Let's not forget that the K1/K2 is finished by 1555 on a weekday so they wouldn't have much issue with operating the 17 (only evening/Sundays)

(13 Feb 2014, 8:12 pm)aureolin wrote Maybe a bit of that, but I hope it helps them grow. They seem to make a good job of the routes they've got at present.
