RE: Fleet Changes - Train8261 - 31 Oct 2021
6100 is at Hexham atm. But I think that's just for the cover of the 10 while the Rebrand is done

All depends on 5411 - 5419 transferring from Deptford to Riverside. As soon as they go then they'll be withdrawn. There's still 8294 - 8302, 8304 - 8306 which appear to be on borrowed time aswell since they've got no route and no use for them anywhere.

As is 5281 (on loan to Hexham from Riverside currently).
It's speculative at this stage, putting the feelers out.

I could imagine the Versa's might stay until the next batch of electric buses are delivered.

Yeah they will be but I don't think it uses 9 buses does it? 7 if I'm right. Believe the PVR of the 6 and 12 is only 11 (I believe) so there's more than enough there to cover the 57 aswell (or 25 either).
There's also 8310 - 8318 and 5377 - 5379 which don't really have a route either but they'll be enough to do the 67/69 and whatever else needs a bus and act as spares when needed. Believe that's every route covered without any use for the 09 plates - which are only Euro 4 so the worst buses in the fleet now (bar the last 3 which got Euro 6 mods guessing as a spare somewhere, CLS no doubt).

RE: Fleet Changes - idiot - 03 Nov 2021
I followed 701 at the weekend and it was looking sorry for itself

RE: Fleet Changes - 54APhotography - 04 Nov 2021
That's right.
RE: Fleet Changes - Keeiajs - 04 Nov 2021
I was on 2 ex Saltwell Parks yesterday, and the seats are worn to their last life they desperately need a re-trim, and USB's. If anyone has been on them recently they can agree with me, the state of them are attriocus, if they were at Riverside they would have been Replaced.

I have been on quite a few 9's and 5's recently for different things. It's not that bad the thing that stands out is that it looks like some seats have been replaced therefore are a lot more comfortable and more noticeably a different shade of blue. Mind you sitting in the 'newer/fresher' seats.
