(27 Aug 2017, 1:16 pm)Dan Likely that just 5 of 7 will be ready for 3rd September, with the last two the following week, though getting five on the road is dependent on when they are delivered (we're on a Bank Holiday week, which doesn't help matters!)
One should be branded up and used for Next Stop Announcement testing on 1st September, and another (may be unbranded) used on the same date for driver familiarisation. As they are registered as '67' plates, they cannot leave Saltmeadows Road until 1st September.
That's tight to get them prepared for service, i take it that some of the current TTX B9's will be temporarily withdrawn from service after the B5's enter service for repaint etc?
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
