Maybe big days out advert pending transfer to PM to make up PVR of 309/310 keeping 6116 and 6117 as spares?

Why would Deptford need 1 less B9 though?

Maybe the spare vehicle is no longer needed there or will be replaced by something more suitable.

I'm guessing its 642 from the news, but the Solo SR on the T1/T2 today did not have Venture branding.
Something I have also noticed is that 6127 and 6138 have both had their side destinations lowered to the bottom half of the window as per 6141 and 6142. Is this planned for all other Omnidekkas or just those 2 for whatever reason?

Don't think that will be going to Percy Main as baring the roadworks at Norham Road, the PVR is 16. However, if the timings of the 310 couldn't handle the timings of the new traffic lights at Formica (also taking into account a required driver change at Verne Road), 6084 (or an ex TTX B9) could transfer from Riverside and allow a PVR increase (depending on the reliability of 6308-14) leaving the following:
Hexham:
10 (+ evening 10A/10B) = PVR 7 + 1 Spare
Riverside:
10A / 10B (+ evening 10) = PVR 9 + 1 Spare
X9 / X10 = PVR 7 + 1 Spare
Percy Main:
309 / 310 / X39 = PVR 17 + 1 Spare
1 / 1A = PVR 14 + 1 Spare (Hybrid)

Will the StreetDeck's for the 21 be dripped into service or will they all go on the 21 on a set launch day?

The last few deliveries, they've entered service when ready.
I do like the glass staircase though

Does look the part, however I do think the branding will look strange on the glass staircase.

Hopefully they don't brand over it...

On the topic of branding, I wonder if the angel has been scaled down a bit to make room for the feature symbols on the top-front windows.

Could be similar height to the "Castles Express" branding.

Yes, those are the windows that I am referring to.

I thought you meant the overall branding on the side of the vehicle, not the feature symbols themselves, in all fairness who is going to look up at that height to see them anyway.

All omnidekkas should get done, it’s down to the current position blocking the view when trying to turn out at high spen when omnidekkas are allocated to the 47.

6319 was branded yesterday, and is expected to transfer to Chester-le-Street from Monday for driver familiarisation.

Looks very smart. Even its back end looks good
