GNE should have never got rid of them! Get rid of the Versas instead

Obvs that didn't happen.

What 20/20A board needs deckers
6049 was on the 5:34 journey for about two weeks, then it was the 7:06, then 7:36 with various other deckers then 7:33 today with a different decker.
Which one is it?

0706 from Sunderland and 0855 return is the board which ought to be a double-deck.

Are Deptfords Mercs due to be withdrawn next week? My source informed me that they are meant to be going (unsure what would replace them - maybe Graphite Solos?) along with the coaches and possibly a decker with the loss of 3 school boards.

Hopefully they don't go, they should stay on the 61.

Do the 309/310/311 only do change overs on the 310?
So what is the driving hours they do?
RE: GNE Questions about fleet withdrawals/buses VOR/fleet questions - Rapidsnap - 27 Jan 2023
It looks as if the DFDS Omnidekka 6144 has been withdrawn, it looked to be parked up and debranded in PM. Also at the depot of what looked to be a number of ex London Gemini 2s of which 6204 was one of them which was in roadstripe livery. Not sure if there are actually going to be dedicated replacements for the DFDS Omnidekkas.

6144 will be donating its engine to 6165.
6049 has transferred from Sunderland, 6225 is due to transfer from Riverside (but is currently VOR), and 6204 should be entering service (went through MOT yesterday).
6147/48 to transfer to Riverside tonight (but also due imminent withdrawal) providing temporary cover while E400s are away for repaint.

Nothing interesting.
6945, 6950/51 and 6959/60 still await repaint into fleet livery.
6950 is at Gardiners, 6959/60 are at London Bus Works.
After no repaints at Saltmeadows since August, things are starting back up again here. 6967 was the first repaint of the new year, the Quaycity Versa will follow suit into fleet livery.

Ah actual E400s, I was picturing MMCs. I forgot a few E400s hadn’t received GNE livery yet.
cheers

RE: GNE Questions about fleet withdrawals/buses VOR/fleet questions - Jack Gill - 29 Jan 2023
Will 5498 be repainted into the green arrows brand when the 97 does return to its original frequency, since they are down 1 branded one now?
