5385/5386/5387 & 5388 have all returned from Reed Commercials in Accrington and have been pictured at Saltmeadows in Yellow/Black base livery in the last 2 weeks.

Thank you for the information, Wonder when they'll be branded up?
I wonder if there are anymore fab 56s away for refurb, wonder what colour they come back in and weather they stay at deptford or are nicely refurbished then sent elsewhere

6087, 6088, 6089 and 6090 have all been taken out of service for repaint/refurbishment.
3943 has transferred in from Washington to replace one, 6048/84 from Riverside to replace two, and 5415 from Riverside to replace the last (with the double-deck board on service 55 reverting back to a single-deck allocation).

Thanks, are these ones stopping on the 56?
Am I assuming the TVT b9s will be next to be done once the fabs have been done

Are they just getting the same done to them as the Crusader B9s?

Any of 6085-6098 due to come back with a "shade" of green perhaps?

Sure they'll have a green leaf which they like using lately for their green credentials (Euro 6) somewhere.

6084 has yet to go down, and is still in Fab 56 livery, so I would imagine, these are for the 56 again, only reason is because 6084 has yet to go - unless its getting done as a spare.

Maybe 6084 if they increase PVR of the 10 if current consultation gets approval

You missed the point he was making - the real question he was asking was ‘Will any of these buses be painted in the green variant of the Xlines livery to allow replacement of the Red Kite branded Volvo B9s?’

Years ago! Wasnt it when PVR of 56 was first reduced to 14 vehicles instead of 15?

I'm sure you've got something else up your sleeve instead of having mixed B9/streetdeck allocation

6086 won't be getting repainted as that's the poppy bus.

Isn't there those Streetdecks from Arriva, which were meant to go to Leeds but didn't happen........ that could be a thing.
Fab 56 PVR History:
- 2013/14 = 15x - Every 10 minutes
- Jan 2015 = 14x Every 12 minutes
- Jan 2019 = 13x Every 12 minutes (terminus change)
- 2020 = 11x Every 15 minutes

Doubt it. They'd need re-done to X-Lines standard and by the time the cost was added on, it would make sense to buy new ones.

Care to enlighten....anyway, send them to Oxford and let us get back some of the original 9
