(26 Aug 2017, 3:10 pm)Michael When is the first Citaro for the X84/X85 due back from Blackburn?
Guessing the Citaro's which have a 10 reg go in to a spare role, this is how i can see them allocated:
Current allocations:
Blaydon Racer – 5275, 76, 78, 79, 82.
Citylink 57 – 5277, 80, 81, 83, 93-97
X5 – 5285- 91
X84/X85/Tynedale – 5298-5303
35 – 5305-5309, 5325-27
27 – 5310-5322
5358 – 5368 – Connections 4
Current spares:
5283 – Riverside (12/12A)
5284 – Riverside (27)
5292 – Deptford (X5)
5323 – Riverside (57)
5324/37/38 – Washington (4, 50/50A)
Extra spares after refurbishment:
5328/29/30 – Deptford – 35/X5
5531, 32, 33, 34 – Riverside – 12/12A/27/57
5304, 5335/5336 – Hexham – X84/X85/Tyndale
Means at least every depot has extra spares for its Citaro’s routes, replacing Scania’s, basically I've gone for Depot Standardisation.
Could replace the Scania L94's at Riverside on the Green Arrow 97/97A/X97 thus upgrading the service, alternatively they could be used replace the Scania L94's on the Black Cats 38/61 therefore all vehicles within the brand have the same features (Wifi, NSA's, Leather Seats).
