(09 May 2016, 8:01 pm)Michael It could be also with 4968-4976 rumoured to be going Blue (couple already done) going to Percy Main meaning Deptford will lose some 53 reg Scania's.
Hopefully they are standardising batches of Scania's.
Deptford will loose all 53 Reg Scania's if all of them are repainted, With Percy Main having only 53 Reg Scania's and Deptford having 54 Reg's ( for branded routes )
Could also be to do with the mechanical side of them too, Most notably is that the 53 Reg batch have a different Gearbox to the 54s. Doubt it is though.
Should improve the quality of the service there operating too, The Prince Bishops had branded vehicles all the way from 2001 to Late 2004 on it, Similar to the Fast Cats which had Scania's from 2002 to 2004 on it.
Sorry if I don't make sense, I didn't know how to explain it.
