If the 9 is to gain a full allocation, 3 spares should be allocated. (one of the See it Do it Citaro's included in that 3) 


I hope after the Citylink 57 Citaro's get refurbished, the Citaro's at Deptford go next.

Having floats will help to reduce it, where deptford have a comfortable amount of corp spares to cover, in my eyes.

(23 Mar 2017, 8:13 pm)Michael wrote I don't think all the cascades are completed though, as not of the all Citaro's for the X5 has entered service yet, Deptford should lose more Scania's.

I think it's only 5290 and 5291 left to arrive back from the DD batch, unless they've arrived back?

(24 Mar 2017, 6:04 am)Dan wrote 650 is now back at Percy Main (in the new corporate livery), with 651 taking its place at Saltmeadows Road for repaint.

I hope we don't get too excited over the fact that 650 has the "never miss your stop" tagline...

(23 Mar 2017, 8:50 pm)park5354 wrote Branding would follow the 49 style,  thus no more gimmicky colours etc, on the less profitable services.

Route details along the side are OK, although those in the white strip like the Prince Bishops spoil the livery, but the rubbish tag lines should go. And stop covering windows, still perpetuated on the recent 49 and Wear Express buses.

(26 Mar 2017, 5:14 pm)Michael wrote Anything for the 61, just get rid of those horrid Versa's haha
