Gold Mercs 5298 and 5299 are due to receive See it Do it branding today for services 35/36.

I've been told that 5301 was also branded last night.

What interests me are those diamonds you can see near the bottom left of the coach, they look the same colour as the blue mercs are, anyone have any idea?

The withdrawn Cadets must be going to Stanley for the revised Diamond service...

I'll go with black to, some reason i think GNE have completely changed their ordinal plans for the Toonlink changes...

I think GNE will stop with the interworking of the services...

If not black then.... Red for Go North East

Doubt it will go red again considering it is already in the corporate livery.

Aye that's true, go for black then

Don't think eight would be enough for the 96/97 - the PVR would be 10+ I'd imagine.

But there would be a perfect number for the 17, and would get rid of the B10BLEs so can see that happening.

Doubt they will transfer out of Stanley to be honest. Whatever they are doing with the X30/X31, i think that they will still be required.

It also depends on whats happening with the 17/17A (nothing so far on VOSA for it), well just have to wait and see what colour it comes out of SM

If they are being repainted there isn't enough to brand the X30/X31 or X70/X71 though? Unless it would be a mixed allocation which probably wouldn't happen.

I bet Citaro is rubbing his hands together with all this guessing! haha

Its a mixed allocation now. 7 omnidekkas and 3 omnis.

I mean a branded mixed allocation.

**like**

I don't see whats different to having a mixed allocation on services that use the corporate livery to a mixed allocation on services that are branded? Other than the branding.

Just throwing the point out there!

I think it will be fully Omnidekkas once more come up from Brighton.
