(15 Mar 2016, 3:35 pm)Tom Could send 5247, 5248 and 5249 all over to Washington replacing a couple of cadets there too and they'll also be better back up for the 88/88A. Then some of the newer Scanias could come here to replace them on the 9 and 17 getting rid of the B10s too.
Think the 1 could do with double deckers too in the next order - however the 22 has taken a lot of the passengers away now so might not be justified but it still gets busy sometimes. Sadly not enough deckers that could be cascaded.

(15 Mar 2016, 4:18 pm)Michael 88/88A will move to Riverside.Will chester get anything extra. Seems quite a bit to loose the 50 and not get anything to replace it
Other movements:
5 from Riverside to Washington
50/50A from Chester to Washington
Rest of the Coast & Country Streetlites from Stanley to Chester
47 from Riverside to Stanley
Think that's all of them?

(15 Mar 2016, 4:25 pm)Michael I think 8328 should be repainted for it, they'll still have 5389/5390 as spares for the Versa routes.I like to think of it as 8328 is spare for Q1/Q2, 5389 is spare for the 58 and 5390 is spare for the Q3. I know however it does not work like this. A Renown or Solar will probably be the 88/88A spare

(15 Mar 2016, 5:09 pm)South Tyne Lad The 88/88A already has a Solar board allocated as there's not enough Versas, Though 2 will appear till Friday as Dan said 8295 is out till Friday for PSV.
Because of the lack of branded Versas, I think its a good move moving the 88/A to Riverside which have a wider veriety of buses ( Aswell as spare Versas ) to allocate in the event of a Versa being VOR.
Still no news on the routing of the 88A? or is it getting withdrawn and all services becoming service 88?
