(18 Dec 2019, 4:02 pm)streetdeckfan Do we know what was the issue with 6333 yet? I'd imagine getting parts will still be an issue with the backlog WrightBus hasIt’s back in service at the minute. Was on today according to bus times

That was quick, wonder if this might indicate that the changes will be online soon?

These were unexpected, which ones are expected to be replaced or are they for enhancing the services.

Probables be replacing: 7105 - 7109, they're the oldest ones, although 2013 is quite young.

They're Euro 5 though, and not London ULEZ exempt, so it would make sense to upgrade them to Euro 6 ones. Wonder if GNE will keep them though, introducing some coach routes would be nice.

I wonder if the PSVAR rules are forcing their hand.
Can't be doing with this:

All coaches in GNE's National Express fleet are fully PSVAR compliant.
National Express are reducing the maximum age of vehicles in their fleet, to be reduced gradually to 5 years.

Are the withdrawels going to be a block of the 63 plates or just random ones, as I need photos of 7107 and 7111 of the 63 plates.

I suppose they'll be kept on for contracts, or could possibly be used as spares on the X9/X10 if that goes to coaches

X9/X10 to get Plaxton Panoramas then?
X1 get old Streedecks
Would those moves be cost effective

Will Percy Main be operating the 310 on Boxing Day or will it be Gateshead using either TVT branded Geminis or Green Arrow E200MMCs?
