(14 Aug 2017, 7:35 pm)S813 FVK Can't they just do that via vinyl?

(14 Aug 2017, 7:39 pm)Dans_bus_photos Probably yeah, although it would be good to see another pride bus on the road I just doubt it somehow just because it happens to have been painted the same colour as 8335.

(14 Aug 2017, 7:53 pm)S813 FVK It being branded Pride would provide an explaination why it is being 'swapped' with 5284 - Riverside already have a Pride bus allocated there, would be best to distribute them across the fleet rather than having them all at one depot.

I imagine the Poppy Bus replacement will be upcoming too. Perhaps one of the next lot of refurbishments could be repainted appropriately for this purpose?

(14 Aug 2017, 9:15 pm)Arcticrossy92 Are there any remaining Omnidekkas that need the new livery applied? 

Once they are completed are there any plans to update the livery on any of the Vykings or Presidents.

I'm assuming they will be withdrawn in the next few years?

(14 Aug 2017, 9:23 pm)Michael How many presidents are currently in service. (can't view the list on my phone).

(14 Aug 2017, 9:33 pm)S813 FVK 30 (Dennis Trident + Volvo B7TL) - might only be 29, depending on whether 3890 has actually been withdrawn yet.

(15 Aug 2017, 9:08 am)Michael When will Tyne Tees Express B9's start to go for a repaint?

Thanks, not many, can see all of them gone by end of the year, we know a few will be withdrawn after the likes of the Metro replacement is finished etc. 




I would think 19 will be replaced by the 19 new buses for the Angel 
7 replaced by the new Gem 3 buses for the X9/X10 

That's 26, plus the ones which will get withdrawn after the metro replacement etc is finished.

(15 Aug 2017, 9:42 am)Dans_bus_photos Has that been confirmed or is it just speculation?

(15 Aug 2017, 10:17 am)S813 FVK The only thing that I have read that could suggest that new buses are coming for the Angel is that the 5 year period on the 21, as requested by the Green Bus Fund, ends next month. That doesn't necessarily mean that new buses are on their way either.

(15 Aug 2017, 11:06 am)JP6004 But Dan did say that 1 angel would be repainted to green black to promote night service....
