(29 Apr 2016, 4:54 pm)JP6004 With the 36 PVR reducing by 4 in May, those Citaros along with the 5 plain silver could go on the X35 with the blue Scania's going to the 61

The 36 is only dropping by 1.

Its the 2/2A which will drop by 4.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

I would like to see the 61 branded something to do with Dalton Park and Sunderland, especially with the 61 running all night to Dalton Park from the 22nd May.

(29 Apr 2016, 4:45 pm)South Tyne Lad Is it worth branding them though? Considering 4967-4976 were new in 2003 with the B7RLEs new a year later.

I would like to see the Citaros allocated to the more demanding services, Blaydon Racers and The Crusader wastes there ability in my opinion.
Look at the X7 Examples, Still a lot left in them after being on there for nearly 2 years now.

I personally don't think there is any point but they have already repainted one of them so looks like it's going to be branded for something.

I would say the Tynedale Express but the Solars seem to cope just fine on there, very nice buses. Would be good on the 19 I think, and possibly the 28/28A. I agree no need to be on the 27s or 49s.

(29 Apr 2016, 4:17 pm)JP6004 I'd imagine that it will just be the 53 and 54 reg examples that will be repainted blue and all the older 51, 02 Scania's will be going corporate?

Including those on the 20's?

Well I can't imagine them painting any of the older reg blue since they are among the oldest Scania's. Saying that the Green Arrows vary from 2001-2004

The Green Arrow is probably varied because Riverside requires all Tacographed Scania's incase of having to cover the X9/X10. Green Arrows Taco Scania's are 4967/5227 and 5228.
I think Riverside's Non-Roof Pod Taco Scania's are all Corporate, Though I may be wrong.

4941 also has tachograph. I believe only 6 single deckers are required to have a tacho at riverside to replace the DD in high winds?
Everything older than 53 reg does not have a roof pod. Of these 8 are corporate, 5 are green arrow

Enough to cover the PVR.

Yep, 4967 is the oldest with a roof pod, Albeit by a few days.

I tend to get a bus up to Clifford Terrace, and jump on the X21 from there. Avoid the queue. Wink
