GNE Questions about fleet withdrawals/buses VOR/fleet questions
(14 Jul 2022, 10:09 am)Michael I see 5392, 94, 96, 97 are all off the road today... only 3 branded buses on the 35.92 was on the 20 today.
Hopefully these are withdrawn after the changes because they've gone downhill pretty fast lately.

(14 Jul 2022, 10:46 am)F114TML Is the door issue when the doors will re-open when the vehicle moves if they've not closed fully? I'm starting to think that's more a feature as I've not been on a citaro that doesn't do it.

I got told its due to a sensor and the doors won't close unless the step is completely level. Citaro's are horrible to drive and definitely passed their best. I've said it before and will do again, rather have a streetlite.
5294 is off the road (I believe with a door issue)..

The Washington ones are still lovely to drive - the only criticism I've always had is they tend to jerk when coming to a stop.

(30 Jul 2022, 7:45 pm)Malarkey According to Bustimes.org 5501 has been off the road since 26th July, 5502 was 16th June, 5503 was 20th July and 5504 was 19th July.I've always thought the 61/55 would have suited them.
I'm wondering with 5504/5509 & 5510 all being in Corporate Livery that 5501 to 5504 will join them to form an allocation for a route elsewhere in the fleet given the odd number of branded vehicles with something else then going onto the X66 down the line potential after the Yutong E12's have entered service in September. I do personally think the B7RLE's should be on something more intense than the X66 with something more lightweight on the route instead.
What routes have a PVR of 6?

What's happening with 3941? Spotted it in the background of a pic of 6191 at Saltmeadows, still in X22 livery despite it being off for 4 months

This thread is basically about if you have any questions about the fleet if so post on here and see if another enthusiast can answer the question.
Below are some vehicles which I’m currently not sure what’s happening to them/would like to know if they are being withdrawn soon or already have!
-722
-6131 - 6142 and 6146 including 6167-6171 (I’m aware these still get used just wondering if anyone knows when these will leave)
-6909 & 6910 (Basically all consett B7s)
-6943 (I feel like this may be withdrawn)
-8298,8299,8301
