(30 Apr 2014, 5:28 pm)Tom Talking of Cadets, when will 8266 be branded?

Soon.
Nitpicking, but 8266 is a Merit rather than a Cadet. Wink

Suppose so, yeah Wink
Cheers.

When the ''Toon Link'' gets upgrades, I'd like to see the B7RLE's on the Pulse services.

If! Tongue

I do think that's a likely cascade, however.

(30 Apr 2014, 5:17 pm)Tom There aren't really any demanding places on the 17 route at all. Might struggle with Archer Street, but it's not too bad. The only other problem would be the Rosehill Bank from what I know, but the 17 route avoids that. Could be used on the 9 possibly? 5151-54 could then transfer to Saltmeadows, then 5247-49 and 5274 temporarily used on the 17.

Send the Cadets to Chester and swap them with the b10s that appear on the 71.
When one of the Versas is off, they can go on there too - saves sending a Loylne out.

All fairly undemanding routes and all run not too far from the depot.
Jobs a good un!

The B10BLEs which appear on the 71 (PVR 2) are only allocated when they aren't required on the Lime owing to vehicles being VOR. Although B10BLEs should be allocated to service 71, the first point of call is to ensure that the "Lime" receives these over other vehicle types. Again, as I've already mentioned, imagine a Cadet on the Lime? There's also the issue of the swap needing five vehicles: Chester-le-Street only have four.

I'm positive Go North East would have considered all options and as they've not chosen to go with the ones we've suggested, there must be a reason why that option was considered to be worse than services 67/69.
