I would think with 5430/37 entering service tomorrow (if they do), then 2 more B10's will be withdrawn?

Deptford currently have four extra buses in the fleet, but released four Scania L94s for repaint this week instead (4990, 5212, 5214 & 5215). 5214 and 5215 are now back at Deptford, but 4990 and 5212 have yet to be repainted. They have also been joined by 5216, which is to be repainted into Go North East's corporate livery.

Just three Volvo B10BLEs remain in service at Deptford (4907, 4909 and 4925) but I imagine that these will be withdrawn imminently.

Assuming 5216/7 are repainted 'Go North East' red like 5214/5 id have a guess they will also be leaving Deptford then? Possibly for the 67/69?

4968 has transferred - but that only happened today, as it was out on the 61 until 00:06am this morning. 4970/71/72 are all currently sat at Deptford.

Upcoming service changes?, the changes in North Tyneside must be soon then Tongue

Glad Deptford decided to release the 4 Scania's for repaint, these should be the priority, to get them repainted ready for the last few Streetlites to enter service.

Will 4990 go "Red" so it can be branded for the 39?

Which other Scania's will go Blue?

5324 released from Deptford by a spares reduction due to the overall PVR reduction of 10 vehicles, allowing 5171 to be withdrawn.

Hopefully branding starts as soon as the Prince Bishop Scania's are repainted, if the branding has arrived by then...

Can you confirm, what the brand will be?

(05 Jun 2016, 3:42 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com So now i gather now spare is 4945;46,54,55,75,89,5214-17.

So far, it depends on how many more go "Blue", as only 2 are Blue so far, The description Dan has on them is:


4968:

Ahead of upcoming service changes, this vehicle has transferred from Deptford Depot to Percy Main.




More should go Blue, wouldn't surprise me if at least over 4 go Blue, this depends on the new PVR's of cause and what other changes are happening in North Tyneside, as we currently only know a few.
