Wonder if them 8 will be out tomorrow then, least then the first of the SPD's will be withdrawn, hopefully all out by Sunday.

Ah so two out. Glad to hear you got a photo Dan.
Another question, wonder where the WTX Renowns will go, think we may see them withdrawn? I'd like to hope the two problem ones 4907 and 4908, particularly the former, are to go. 4906/4909 aren't too bad, but Renowns generally are starting to suffer.

I don't think all SPD's across fleet will go by Sunday. The first ones from Deptford will go starting Sunday. But there's still some solar repaints to do too, January 26th will hopefully see the majority of SPD's gone.

I know that lol, that's why i said "least then the first of the SPD's will be withdrawn"

Hopefully the 26th Jan is the last time we ever see them in service.


Then its roll on the next lot of new buses... haha

6094 - Photo here, somewhat blurry due to fading light but it's one the SAFC fans will like!

6098 - Photo here, which allows a clearer view of the entire branding.

They really suit the brand, can't wait to ride them, hopefully half of them are out by the time i start college again on Monday...

Reading the description on the bottom, least all will be out before 8.1.14

Do you mean the next batch of 80 vehicles coming as part of 2014's investment? If so, read through this thread.

Orders haven't being made yet, no one is quite sure what will be ordered... seems plans are changing all the time.
