(11 Apr 2016, 3:08 pm)Davie I doubt it, as there'll not be enough Omnicities for the 9.

How often does the 9 have a full omnicity allocation anyway? I have a feeling (just a rough guess) that 5248 will head to Washington and 5249 to Riverside once the Solars are replaced on the Prince Bishops. Doubt they'd be released yet.

Good point.

Ye, i'll agree with you on that, someone else also mentioned about Riverside needing a spare Omnicity.

Percy Main don't need 4 spare Omnicities, they only need the 2 with WIFI.

The 9 should be allocated Scania's once the Streetlites enter service. (not confirmed, just a guess)

Stanley might be a better idea for 5249 to replace the B10 there.

Does anyone know what is allocated to the 688 on weekdays please?

I wouldn't mind if ALL of Percy Main's Omnicities left. We may get better vehicle's on the 1 for a change.

Ye, it could, i forgot about the B10 at Stanley.

Hopefully when the changes occur on Sunday, all the fleet changes will be noted. (No hints Dan Wink )

Edit: We know which services are moving but other buses may also move around too.

I quite like the Omnicities on the 1, cope with the route well and the WiFi is always great on them.

4896 is only in the fleet at Stanley in a float/reserve capacity - it's currently covering for Dennis Trident/East Lancs Lolyne 3874 (W184 SCU) which was withdrawn having suffered accident damage.

If/when a double-deck vehicle can be sourced for Stanley as a permanent replacement for 3874, I suspect 4896 will leave Stanley.

All of the Scania OmniDekkas are in the process of being looked at by the depot's engineering team.

Any reason why the monitors have been removed from the crusader?

6115 next stop announcements keep resetting themselves and saying random places

6070's announcements conked out, this afternoon - Durham bound, in Birtley, the audio started firing off several destinations one after another and then stopped for the rest of the journey. Visuals were fine.

I was. I had both of them. Don't get rid of them until tomorrow. Made the most of the metrocentre being quieter as I needed some stuff from IKEA. Didn't bank on the glut of ladies that do Bingo filling up the S1, mind.

Is 'Two Fat Ladies' going to be a future brand for service 88?
