3966 failed at the worst possible spot today. (Sorry for poor quality.)
(21 Jun 2017, 3:48 pm)Michael 5472 and 5475 have arrived, that now means 9 have arrived out of the batch of 18, both will be branded tomorrow and i wouldn't be surprised if they enter service after.
Has it been confirmed where the Versa's are going from 2/2A?

(21 Jun 2017, 3:59 pm)Dan With seven now having entered service, things are starting to move around now.
The entry into service of the first four Streetlites at Deptford has led to no withdrawals (replacements for 564, 574 and 4936, as well as providing an extra bus following service changes on 21st May which resulted in extra PVR for service 593/8N). When service X36 is withdrawn next month, the two Scania L94s temporarily displaced will replace the buses they were planned to replace originally. Deptford's fleet balance has therefore been restored to the correct number of allocated vehicles.
The fifth Streetlite entering service has led to the transfer of 8306 to Riverside. This is a replacement for 4926 which was withdrawn earlier this month having sustained accident damage as mentioned on this forum previously.
A further two Optare Versas will transfer from Deptford to Riverside imminently, as replacements for 4931 and 8266, which have both been withdrawn too. This will restore fleet balance at Riverside, as above with Deptford. These will both undergo repaint into the company's fleet livery, and will eventually be joined by 8309 (which will also be repainted), to form the PVR of 4, for services 67/69.
, seems right all the remaining Versa's at Deptford will go to Riverside. (if i read that right, if not will 8326-28 be split between Chester and Riverside as spares)(21 Jun 2017, 3:59 pm)Dan With seven now having entered service, things are starting to move around now.

(21 Jun 2017, 8:19 pm)citaro5284 Well, 2 were, the rest were not due until August anyway. Remember Wrights close the factory for a fortnight for the summer holidays.
Spotted this on 8266 while looking through the news:
The Metrocentre Shuttle S1 service is due to be withdrawn from Sunday 23rd July and replaced by an extended X66 service on a lower frequency.
Wonder if the loop around the Metrocentre will be every 20 minutes?, every 30 minutes doesn't seem right for it.
(just the bold part, we know the S1 is getting withdrawn)
Demo isn't on 40 / 41 today if anyone is looking for it. The usual board is a Solo.
8306 is at Riverside now. Was on Q2 yesterday with the 2 to Washington destination...
