(24 Mar 2022, 1:24 am)peter Firstly, the new PVR for the 41/41A is 3 not 2, and looking at the timetable the evening 26 seemingly would need 4 buses.
It's already been confirmed that as the 19 is contracted to run with larger buses that most of Streetlites 8339-8346 will be transferring to Percy Main for both the 41/41A and 19, so 691/3-5 will almost certainly be getting a repaint. Tbh idek if those Solo's will stay at Percy Main cause what would they be used on...the Streetlites would be more than enough for the evening runs they're getting. I imagine they'll be hanging onto those Solo's to see the outcome of more Nexus and DCC contracts later this year, unless another service elsewhere is due to undergo conversion to minibus (something will be needed at Deptford for the 5/9 after all).
Has it actually been confirmed that the 41/41A is all being ran by the 83xx Streetlites?
I have a feeling that it might be like the 67/69 in Gateshead where it's just ran with whatever isn't on the road from the 1/19/Q3/Deckers
Can't imagine they will they send 6 or 7 / 8 out of a batch of unique buses it just doesn't make much sense.
Also I can image it will only be 2/4 of the 26 boards ran by Percy Main. The other 2 work with the 50 so wouldn't really work without timetable changes.
