(10 Aug 2015, 10:41 pm)JP6004 Maybe more ex Brighton scania until new buses are purchased this year or next? No harm in downgrading the service until new buses arrive - don't forget angel was downgraded before investment

(10 Aug 2015, 10:54 pm)R852 PRG You never know... Some of the Solars on the ''Highwayman'' are aging now, I'm not sure if they would get direct replacements in the form of new vehicles, but the ''Diamond'' could. Even though the Citaros seem fine on the routes, those services could receive an upgrade in coming years. I'd leave the door open at his suggestion.

(10 Aug 2015, 10:59 pm)S813 FVK Th Diamond routes are the only main services at Stanley which have never received brand new buses. Considering it was valued as a high quality service anyway by giving it an upgrade to Citaros (ultimately making it one of the few then-Gold Standard services), the lack of real investment into the service shows that it has dropped down in the world.
Obviously you can't upgrade services left right and centre. We all know that upgrades, repaints and other miscellanous stuff costs money and need to be well used in order to get the money back.

5231 is at Saltmeadows: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dansnorthe...ateposted/
Looks like it is being sanded down for a repaint. No sign of 5284 today either but then again, quite a few Diamond Mercs are off the road but we won't go into why. I often feel that the tension rises when we have to go through all of this stuff.
