(11 Oct 2015, 12:55 pm)Dan 5151 to 5159 at Percy Main and 5160 at Riverside are still in active use. Although 5165 was withdrawn from service at Percy Main, it is being reinstated as and when required.
One further 515x series Volvo B10BLE is awaiting withdrawal from service (one of the 491x series examples transferred last month from Riverside replaced it), and I would imagine further examples will be withdrawn before the year is out. Any which cannot be withdrawn without replacement prior to 1st January 2016 will be modified to become DDA-compliant.
If the Citaro's are going on the 57..i would imagine the current duel door 10's on the FAB57 will be repainted or just left as blue as they are from 2000, replacing 5 of the 1999 ones... until further replacements can be brought in.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
