Martjin replied to my post about the Scania's getting withdrawn:
I don’t either, but they are the oldest and therefore next to leave. Some will go in the next 6-8 weeks, then a sizeable chunk when new buses arrive in September and probably the rest in the months that follow.
Gold ‘X’ routes livery being launched on X6/7 and X20 for now.
-----
6-8 weeks the first scania's will leave, wonder whats replacing them?, more service changes on the way?

6 to 8 weeks from Monday is between the 10th and 24th June.

Could someone please advise if getting to South Shields on a GNE two zone (blue/red) is possible or not? I can go to North Shields on a Blue Zone and get the 5 to South Shields with a blue/red later in the day, but not early on unfortunately. A blue/purple/red is expensive and takes ages! The Day Rover being £7.80 now is quite costly so I am looking for a cheaper alternative. Thanks.

(06 May 2019, 10:52 am)Michael They aren't supposed to be arriving until September!
Wonder if we still have new buses arriving from the 2018/2019 financial year?

(07 May 2019, 7:01 pm)JP6004 I believe what's on order is for 2018/2019. Dont forget GNE financial year runs from June to June. They will probably place further orders from June onwards for 2019/2020

(07 May 2019, 7:07 pm)Michael Maybe but new buses aren't arriving until September but the first set of Scania's are going in the next 6 to 8 weeks, which is June.

(07 May 2019, 7:35 pm)Tom I'm guessing the Blue Arrow Omnicties will replace them at Riverside (possibly on Green Arrow?). I really can't see Percy Main keeping Omnicities for a service with PVR of 4.
Have a feeling the 11/19 will be Solo operated, but who knows haha

(07 May 2019, 8:02 pm)JM03 Confirmed green arrows getting 4 mercs when new E2OOs arrive for that. Think the leftover Bishops streetlites will take over 11/19
(07 May 2019, 8:02 pm)JM03 Confirmed green arrows getting 4 mercs when new E2OOs arrive for that. Think the leftover Bishops streetlites will take over 11/19
I guess it could work like this:
637, 638 and 639 transfer to Percy Main due to loss of 516, and PVR reduction of 237/238.
648-652 allocated to 40/41 (I think it has PVR of 5?)
653/654 transfer to Peterlee - 718-720 to Percy Main (less spares required due to loss of X6/X7)
672-678 transfer to Deptford for X6/X7/X20 - 691-694 transfer to Percy Main, allocated to the 19 (PVR 4)
679, 680, 681, 689 and 690 move to Washington, releases 701-705. These can be allocated to the 11, with 1 spare. (PVR 4) - Omnicities transfer to Riverside.
709 allocated to W2 as present.
718/19 allocated to W1/W1A. (720 spare for W1/W1A/W2)
625, 627, 631, 632, 637, 638, 639 724, 725 (withdrawal of 18) are left for the 42/42A
The Eclipses are kept for spares for Misc services etc. I don't want to loose all of the newer Solos on the indiGo North Tyne, but it seems pretty inevitable.
I've probably done something wrong but it seems to work to get Percy Main fully Solo operated. I dont think they would put Streetlites on the 11.

(07 May 2019, 8:09 pm)enviro7501 There's also the Versas from the 36 which could allow more Scanias to be withdrawn. Also, since the 18 is being withdrawn, could 724/725 transfer to Chester for the 71 to allow more Versas to withdraw more Scanias?

(07 May 2019, 8:13 pm)Tom Or another way to look at it, will Versas be completely removed from Chester? The Omnicities transfer to Chester le Street to operate the 28/28A, 34 etc.
