(03 May 2018, 8:51 pm)Malarkey Believe the remaining Vykings/Presidents are due to be withdrawn by September from what I have been told by other enthusiasts when out and about, although there were no mention of what the replacements would be at the time.

(04 May 2018, 6:17 am)RBZ 5459 Special events over summer too, Tall Ships etc. Not many spare deckers in the fleet now, not many scholars deckers to use for a busy summer. A fair few deckers expected I believe, and be interesting to know if all will be retained.

(04 May 2018, 6:54 am)Andreos1 The first thing I thought about when seeing the photos, was whether they were to supplement a seemingly ever shrinking fleet or to replace vehicles within that fleet.
Most of us can remember the state of play a few years back, when scholars services were lost/not retendered and deckers were cascaded and disposed of.
It took quite a while to bring the decker fleet back up to a decent and reliable complement.
The deckers sourced in the interim (Notts and Dublin Oly's plus London ECW's if I remember right) weren't the most presentable or reliable.
I would hope lessons were learned.
They weren't they only local operator to have had their fingers burnt in that period either.
ANE got a lot of the Hartlepool Tall Ships work and needed to source stock to fulfill operational demand.
Pretty tatty stock it was too.

The following Ex London Volvo B7TL / Wright Eclipse Geminis were at Saltmeadows today.
WVL252 - LX06EAY
WVL254 - LX06EBC
WVL269 - LX06ECC
Any word on the fleetnumbers or how many are coming.
If they are coming in an unbroken block like the B9TLs the from the ones I've seen their's a gap of 17 between highest lowest WVL fleetnumbers, unless some in the middle have been sold elsewhere already.
