Ah so could be a replacement for the Omnidekka's then.

Are these low height or full height like ANE 7501-13 (57 plates)?

Theyre coming from E100 - E150 (09 / 60 plate) in London (not all obviously). 

E101 - E103 havent been in service for months so they will likely be some of them. Been reported on the GoAhead London Bus forum that they're going to local companies.

It's LX08 ECA.

2+2 doesn't always equal 5.

Admit I was wrong there. Deleted the original post. Didn't realise they were in service still but just seen them now.

likely 69** the ex london stuff have been in that fleet number area

These will be handy for metro replacement & other shuttle work too being euro 6 and dual doored.


I was doing to ask if these are from the batches that seemed to have a slight tinted look to their windows and blueish interior lighting when you see them pass at night, but the windows look clear in that screenshot, so maybe not.

No pics anywhere of them at Saltmeadows?

They be stored out of sight around the back of Saltmeadows.

apparently more than that

There are probs there to displace all the OmniDekkas other than the Voyager ones.

I wonder if the 57' will get any engine updates as the Gemini's are Euro 5 & Voyagers Euro 4.

But all the G1's are Euro 4 afaik

Maybe they are for a massive metro replacemnt contract later in the year, nothing like being prepared

And then replacing the older Omnidekka's ect. 

When is the Metro Replacement Control anyway

The Metro Flow Project will see most of the South Shields line closed for a period of time. They’d be good for that.

Would be nice if there’s enough to get rid of all the Omnideckers and Gemini 1s, (including Voyager examples).
They look just look old inside and out.
