Fleet Changes
Fleet Changes
Here's my thoughts
- X45/X46 main PVR only operates Monday to Saturday daytimes due to the evening & Sunday interworking patterns with the X30/X72. It would make more sense to allocate vehicles that are suited to lower mileages. The StreetLites performed okay on the 45/46/47 so no reason why the B5TLs couldn't handle the X45/X46 only 6 days per week with no evenings & Sundays. Similar spec to 6331-33.
- 6065-68 only a temporary measure until EVs if bid is successful.
- Flexibility with 2x low height deckers at Consett as spares.
- Fleet commonality & common batches/groups of vehicles particularly for Washington & CLS.
- Improved reliability on X21 & BSOG mileage (no doubt StreetDeckFan would be over the moon haha).
- 2x oddballs (6334-35) would serve a useful purpose for DFDS work as they're Euro 6. Any extras filled by either 6100/01 if available.
