Also 5203 is still without any form of branding

(03 Nov 2015, 7:05 pm)Diamond One New vehicles due in New Year?

(03 Nov 2015, 8:02 pm)pdiddy 6041 has no branding on the destination blind due to the glass being replaced after an accident on Saturday.

Same as 6037 has no branding on the front after an accident in 2014!

(03 Nov 2015, 8:35 pm)DaveyBowyer Well, unless GNE have taken a last minute u-turn to retrofit GKN mods on the Cobalt B9s and order Streetdecks instead, then I highly doubt that anything will happen to the B9s at Percy Main. The only other options are as follows and I'll explain further in the predictions thread:

- New buses for the Pronto (Likely)
- New buses for the Red Arrows with various cascades including the Pronto (Sort of likely)
- New buses for the TEN with various cascades including the Pronto (Not likely but could be a possibility)

(03 Nov 2015, 5:05 pm)S813 FVK 6130 has gained Northern branding:

(04 Nov 2015, 7:27 am)BUSFAN Does anyone know if any new Buses will come to Crook Depot as i heard ages ago some Mercs were coming to replace some of the deckers.

(04 Nov 2015, 7:54 am)S813 FVK Was any part of that rumor even true at any stage or did people just realise that there were 8 mercs to replace 7 presidents (8 including 6038)?

(04 Nov 2015, 9:26 am)pdiddy Yes it was meant to happen...  but has Citaro5284 said before..  plans change

(04 Nov 2015, 4:12 pm)S813 FVK I know, hence me saying 'at any stage'.

On another note, Tridents 3886 and 3888 need their rear destinations fixing. 3888 displays only the route number in the middle of the display and nothing else. 3886 on the other hand displays the destination both lines of the display but all bunched up on the left so it is difficult to read. I could just make out that it said '828 East Stanley tonight.

Also, 3874 hasn't improved. It is still as bad as ever.

(04 Nov 2015, 5:55 pm)DaveyBowyer Initially, 5331 to 5338 were going to go on the X21 but, because of the major reliability issues on the X7 at the time given how premature the service was back then and the fact that single deckers would not match the needs of capacity on the X21, it was then decided not to put them on the Pronto.

(04 Nov 2015, 6:04 pm)Jimmi Wasn't it also rumoured that the X21 would be increased to 20 minute operation when the rumour of 5331-5338 going on the X21 was around?
