Half that Belmont list is up in the air at the moment.
22/24 are interworking with a combined PVR of 13
56/86 and 57/57A have been hived off into 2 separate sets. Not sure of the PVR on those.
I think the 6 and 64 might also have an extra bus allocated, but I don't know if this is a constant or a waiting in the wings arrangement.
Just out of curiosity,has 2824 recently be side shunted in an accident,cus i just saw it out today on the 335 and one of its panels on the right hand side is a slightly different colour to the rest of the bus,i know it was in for a repaint a few weeks ago,but this panel looks quite recent

(24 Jun 2016, 7:24 pm)V514DFT Yeah but theres one panel thats a slightly different shade to the rest which lead me to thinking it was in a r.t.a,bit like 2831 which has a plain greeny/blue back bumper
(25 Jun 2016, 10:06 pm)V514DFT Its nice for a 'blast from the past',but its dated now and looks odd along with 2815 which is white,no idea why

(25 Jun 2016, 10:51 pm)peter 2815 is white to act as a spare for the Nexus branded buses...I think the idea being it was better to use/Nexus would be happier with a white bus rather than an Arriva branded vehicle.

4th September changes saw 4659 move to X20, and one of 7412-5 move to X14 alongside 7517 and a QLIN E400.
4653 is now a spare for MAX routes X14/5/6/8/20, alongside 7412 and 7515/6 which are branded as QLIN for flexibility. 4659 should receive X20 branding in the near future....hopefully!
If anyone wants to get the OmniCity run, its the first southbound X20 that starts at Hadston on Saturdays. Arrives Haymarket at 0725. It is the last Alnwick run on the evening.
