(08 Sep 2015, 8:04 pm)Dan It's incredibly easy to make mistakes, so I'll be forgiving of that, but I'm shocked that they sitll haven't corrected that mistake..? There's not many buses on the 22 and 24 (think it's these services which serve the aforementioned location?), and it's only a case of correcting the PowerPoint, saving it, and shoving a USB memory stick into a computer on the bus to update it.
Given the negative connotations associated with the slang term "hoe", I would have thought it'd be a top priority to fix it...

(08 Sep 2015, 8:37 pm)Diamond One What's happening to the highwayman brand are all the scanias going red they all seem to be going red nowadays perhaps a possible order for new buses or new revitalised brand

(08 Sep 2015, 8:43 pm)Michael All the Highwayman scania's all are going red... its not known if the "Highwayman" brand will come back or if the services will be re-branded with new or newer buses...
(08 Sep 2015, 8:44 pm)Dan Haha - shall I hold you to that one, Michael?

(08 Sep 2015, 8:56 pm)Dan "All vehicles will be repainted"
"4932 has been repainted into Go North East's corporate livery".
2 + 2 = 5 perhaps, Michael?

(08 Sep 2015, 8:59 pm)Michael Well i'm just going by what you said...
The entire batch of "The Highwayman" branded Scania L94UB/Wright Solar vehicles is set to undergo repaint as a result.
So if thats not happening why put the above on your photo discription of 4932?

(08 Sep 2015, 9:02 pm)Dan I don't think you are going by what I said, Michael... I think you're (wrongly) trying to read between the lines - not everything I say is some sort of cryptic clue.
"Impending service revisions at Riverside Depot are set to see "The Highwayman" services 97 and 98 undergoing route alterations, following a recent online and paper-based customer consultation, allowing customers to give their feedback on the company's proposed service changes. The entire batch of "The Highwayman" branded Scania L94UB/Wright Solar vehicles is set to undergo repaint as a result. The first vehicle out of the paintshop is 4932, and it has been repainted into the company's corporate livery."
There's nothing in the above that explicitly states that all of "The Highwayman" buses are going to be repainted into Go North East's corporate livery.
We'll have to see which colour(s) the next Highwaymans go when they're repainted, won't we?

If Deptford can work comfortably with the 2x B9 spares for the 56, why don't they swap one with a B7 from Riverside (3963) and put it permanently on the TEN allowing 6084 to act as a dedicated spare rather than a go inbetween vehicle? Would then give the TEN a full PVR of 14 Geminis rather than relying on the internal and external reliability issyes that the TTX faces (breakdowns, VORs, RTAs, congestion). Then Deptford still have 1 B9 that they can allocate and as a last point of call, a B7 equipped with Wi-Fi. I know that they were bought as spares for the 56 but would it not be wiser to share the extra vehicle elsewhere in the network where really needed rather than having it on the Bishops for some of the time.
