(23 Oct 2022, 7:14 pm)Unber43 X84/X85 had brand new double-deckers which were only because they were spare, I think they were orginally meant to get the old X21's. 

However the 684 I've never seen it busy and tbf a mini solo just had 6 less seats than a regular solo. The X85 from Eldon Square carries a decent load, really it should be upgraded to a decker running off a school contract
.

That's not true. Most of the time I've seen the 684, a normal Solo has looked 'cosy' to say the least.

hmm. Maybe we've had different experiences. 

Also I saw on GNE website that there are works taken place in Wylam so only the solo operated boards can now operate for a period of 3-4 months I think it is, so it takes the service to every 2 hourly in that location. 

If what you say is true I assume it would get 5377-78-79 for the 684 & 717/718 for 74 + Spare. Hopefully they can be refurbed and have USB's Added.

Original Plan pre-covid was

StreetDecks:
- 13x X31/X45/X46
- 9x X47/X70/X71
- 4x X5/X15
- 4x X21 (when increased to every 15 mins)
- 6377 - floater

E400MMC:
- 3x X30/X31
- 1x X30/X31 (from 2019/20 order)
- 14x X1 (from 2019/20 order)

Later down the line........'Potentially' StreetDeck OM936 or Scania N250UD:
- 7x X9/X10 >> B5TLs cascaded to X84/X85 (PVR 5x)

Looks like it could be 5399 - that was on 84 until around half 2

When Sept 4th changes hit 5328-5333 were totally removed, and as they popped back up again 5331-5333 they re-appeared from bus times. 

So I have no idea, Hopefully they come back much nicer than the streetlites.

There is the 4 branded ones at Washington and at Deptford you have the Violet branded ones and the X Lines ones (5327 - 5336 I think).
The X Lines were/are mothballed. Some have returned to service but I don't think all have.

The B9TLs from EYMS and GNW are probably capable of being upgraded to Euro 6.

There are/were 4 (I think) Washington buses based out of Deptford recently. I believe this is down to lack of parking space at Washington.

5400 is mothballed as it isn’t required at present due to the reduced frequency on service 8.

5463 has been awaiting a new engine and MOT since July. Should be back in service within the next week or so then will transfer from Riverside to Washington.

Whats a thermal Incident? A fire?
Its not on bustimes anymore, I had to go on the 97 then got it on that to track it to see where it last track but if you go in fleet lists and search for it, its not there.
