Following the cascade of Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka from Chester-le-Street Depot to Percy Main, this vehicle has been withdrawn from service at Percy Main Depot.
Having been temporarily retained beyond the entry into service of Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka 6147 (YN05 GZP) - which acts as a permanent replacement for Dennis Trident/Plaxton President 3891 (NK51 UCU) on "DFDS Seaways" service 327 - to assist in the coverage of extra vehicle requirements over the summer holidays, this vehicle has now been withdrawn from service at Percy Main Depot.
Having recently returned from internally refurbishment and repaint at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn, this vehicle has now been fitted with free customer Wi-Fi.
Due to Scania L94UB/Wright Solar 4927 (Y927 ERG) being withdrawn, this vehicle has been reinstated at Riverside Depot. Whilst both Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4898 (V988 ETN) and 4899 (V989 ETN) were originally intended to act as float/reserve vehicles at Deptford to cover for vehicles away for refurbishment at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn, they will instead now be retained at Riverside Depot in their fleet, with alternative Scania L94UB/Wright Solar vehicles being used in a float/reserve capacity at Deptford instead.
Following the transfer of Scania L94UB/Wright Solar 5209 (NK54 NVD) to Chester-le-Street Depot due to the requirement for a higher number of single-deck vehicles and fewer double-deck vehicles, this vehicle has transferred from Chester-le-Street Depot to Percy Main, to allow the withdrawal of older double-deck vehicles allocated to the latter depot.
Following the loss of Miscellaneous Works and scholars contracts, this vehicle has transferred from Percy Main Depot to Riverside. This will replace Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5332 (BJ10 VUS) in the fleet at Riverside, which, following the completion of refurbishment work at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn, will no longer be allocated to Riverside.
