(02 Oct 2015, 1:27 pm)thetravelman Do you have inside information or is this your good guess?
Do you think that they would change the current Omnicities on the current ToonLink - 11,31,32 services, for Newly branded "ToonLink" Black Omnideckers that are expected in the coming months for the new ToonLink services 11, 12, 12a?
I think it could be a good idea, however the current Omnicities have not long been updated for ToonLink and surely GNE would of delayed its update from Purple vehicles to Black Omnicities, if only a few months later they would change again. Although the upcoming changes are NEW, I'm sure GNE would of been considering this for many months previously, even before going thru the consultation process.
Also, I think Dan suggested that the current Omnideckers are Not likely to be re-painted again so soon.
Surely as they are branding the X30, X31, X32 services as ToonLink they will want to use ToonLink branded vehicles and not just Red Omnideckers??
Its all very interesting though, looking forward to finding out !
Ye, honestly don't see the point in promoting the current Toonlink services then dropping them within months to have different services for the brand..
From what iv'e heard we are to receive more Omnidekka's in the next couple of months... maybe they are the ones to go Black.... this isn't confirmed its just what i was told...so we take this info with a pinch of salt!
So going what iv'e being told... maybe the 11/12/12A will be the Omnicities and the X30/X31/X31 will be Omnidekkas.... i don't think the allocations be confimred until GNE put the new timetables up... and were still waiting for the Gateshead changes to be posted... hopefully that gives us an idea to.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
