(09 Dec 2017, 9:24 pm)S830OFT Which service at Deptford would 3971 turn up on aside from the very early 35A to Heworth?Depends but normally spare bus in the depot after it , other day it was on 61s but ot sounds unhealthy atm i think the 35A has killed it the way it sounded the other day

(08 Dec 2017, 5:43 am)Dan Whilst this would be a good cascade plan and great for customers; the L94s on Loop, Highwayman and Black Cats are tied down to the areas they operate in at the moment, until 2019, as they were fitted with council-funded SCRT systems.
I think Durham were a little happier for the buses they funded with SCRT systems to be cascaded earlier (i.e. those on Fast Cats X35) as they were being replaced by younger, more reliable buses which were still fuel-efficient and Euro 5.
Had Gateshead and Sunderland been equally as happy, I think we'd have seen cascades long before now.

Dan has confirmed on his photo of 5327 - which is at Blackburn Bus and Coach World, that 5326-5336 are for the 9, confirming, that the service will be every 20 minutes.
5325/5337/5338 as spares for Deptford, with 5324 going to Riverside? (4 spares each)
---
He has also confirmed that the 13 Gemini's 2 from London will refurbished like this:
The entire batch will undergo exterior repaint, centre door conversion, fitment of an entrance door ramp, seats re-trimmed including extra padding, seat legs, hand grabs and hand poles repainted, buggy bay created, with free customer Wi-Fi and new white LED destination displays also fitted.
Mechanically, this entire batch of buses have been fitted with a new Ecolife campaigned gearbox.
Wonder if this confirms they'll go on the Toonlink services 6 and X70/X71?, allowing the Omnicities to just go on the X30/X31?
5234 - 5241 on the X30/X31
5249, 5250 as spares.
5253 moves from Stanley

(10 Dec 2017, 11:43 am)S813 FVK PVR of services X30/X31 before May was only 6 (5239-42, 5250 & 5253).
With this in mind, there would be 5 Omnicitys left over, these could be used on the other Toon Link services with only enough B9TLs to replace the Omnidekkas joining the brand?

So they go on the 6/X70/X71, leaving 5234-39 on the X30/X31?
Then, including the ones at Percy Main, there is 5240-42, 5250-5254, and 5261-74 Omnicities to allocate, which is 22. I would like to say Blue Arrow and 35, with a couple going to Washington for the 5/50. However, I don't know if they would want to have Omnicities at Deptford? Only other way around it would be to allocate Solars to the 35, under the Black Cats brand, but that is a massive downgrade.
Thanks for the update.
Quick question for 26/27 will GNE Desination Boards change back with via points?
For people who don't know about the changes/without internet?
Will brand for crusader change?

(10 Dec 2017, 12:13 pm)Michael Looks like it'll be Scania's as they have to be in Sunderland until 2019 due to the modifications they got....... they'll need to brand one more Scania, as the PVR is 8 and there's only 7 branded.

(10 Dec 2017, 12:21 pm)Tom Ah, so the Solars are allocated to the 61? I was under the impression they were on the 39 haha. I thought they would need some transfers.
I that's the case I would guess the Omnicities will just stay at Percy Main (11/19) and a couple to Washington.
