(17 Sep 2015, 7:07 am)Dan Why not? There are sufficient front LED displays in withdrawn vehicles for all Volvo B10BLEs and Volvo B7TLs in the fleet to have their current flipdots replaced. The only vehicles with front LEDs in a few weeks time will be Volvo Olympians and Lolynes.
Yes, 4940 was the last Scania L94 with a front flipdot destination.

(18 Sep 2015, 11:00 am)Dan Volvo B7TLs 6015, 6023, 6030, 6031 and 6033 at Percy Main have had their front flipdot displays swapped for LEDs. Likewise, Volvo B7TL 6027 at Washington has also had its front flipdot display swapped for LED.
Former "Highwayman" branded Scania L94 5218 is now at Saltmeadows for repaint, ahead of service changes next month.

(18 Sep 2015, 2:57 pm)Michael Ye, could be, what are the passenger numbers like, both aren't very long routes and tbh i think both are pointless, they could be merged with current routes around the area's they serve...
The 64/64A/95 might get withdrawn yet...
