Doubt they will transfer out of Stanley to be honest. Whatever they are doing with the X30/X31, i think that they will still be required.

But there would be a perfect number for the 17, and would get rid of the B10BLEs so can see that happening.

It also depends on whats happening with the 17/17A (nothing so far on VOSA for it), well just have to wait and see what colour it comes out of SM Tongue

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

If they are being repainted there isn't enough to brand the X30/X31 or X70/X71 though? Unless it would be a mixed allocation which probably wouldn't happen.

I don't see whats different to having a mixed allocation on services that use the corporate livery to a mixed allocation on services that are branded? Other than the branding.

Just throwing the point out there!

They do end up being allocated to scholars although i don't think that any (apart from the one operating one of the 808 that interworks with the X70/X71) services are actually down to be allocated an omnidekka (includes Nexus contracts). I do think that one is allocated to the 794 though.

Haven't seen 3879 since Tuesday morning since you mention it. Must have been withdrawn again.

It was allocated to Park View scholars this morning, but yes, Ensign are going to be buying the majority of the withdrawn vehicles.

Gold Mercs 5298 and 5299 are due to receive See it Do it branding today for services 35/36.

Well - most of you got it... 5253 has been repainted black!

3963 is in the process of gaining an allover advertisement for Strongbow's apple-flavoured cider at Riverside at the moment.

I'll stick to ToonLink - like i said before i have a feeling the changes will be so they don't interwork anymore... hence the extra omni getting painted...

Seeing as I am on a roll (guessed black for the Omni), I reckon the next all over advert, will be for heroin and crack cocaine.
Just a guess like.
