A couple of questions:
Was 'Red Kite' the first branded service?
Did it receive the first OmniCities?
In the original press release did it say 'travel in air-conditioned comfort'?
If Q2 is affirmed, would it be reasonable to expect that when the Omni's are cascaded, they will be replaced with new vehicles?
Sorry, that's for questions!

Suicide attempt. Bloke said he had a gun but he didn't. Police massively overreacted. Nexus 23 was worst affected

I was close enough, I wouldn't say they overreacted though, especially after the Raoul Moat incident a few years back.

Dont know about that, as Mr Malarkey pointed out Raoul Moat will always be on a Bobbys mind when dealing with a call of this nature, they are not to know he is lying and unarmed, it just depends how many were dispatched tk warrant it being an over-reaction...
One of my mates had to face down an Armed Response once after a disagreement with someone else I know, the person who he had been at loggerheads with phoned the law and told them he had a 'carving knife and threatened to die through Suicide by Cop' which turned out to be a load of shite, this was long before Raoul Moat and he was told the Police had to go armed to the teeth just in case he had a weapon...

Hopefully something like 20/35 and not something like the 39/38!
With all the repaints etc, is 3964 also in line for a repaint out of its children and need livery!!
What next for this bus I wonder ....
Good question regarding 3964's future, I wonder if it'll remain in it's current livery until they have some thing else to brand/paint it for?
Also, I'm according to fleet allocation 5204-5209 are all still fab56 which ones are now in black?

All I know is that 5205 is black, and possibly 5207. 5205-9 are all going black as far as I know.
