Swap them for some omnidecker as they can just go on the 35, a few 20's and then the South Tyneside Circuit (the boards that don't run onto the 60) or the 61. Its just common sense.

As they swapped all of Deptfords Euro 6 Streetlites for the Versa's a while back due to the air zone.


I thought the only Euro 6 buses at Deptford was the B9's on the 56 and the Sunderland Connect Solo's?

2/2A - PVR - 10
5/9/24/26 - PVR - 18
20/20A - PVR - 14 - Only 11 Branded + Decker
33/135/136 - PVR - 2
35 - PVR 8
39/39A/39B - PVR 5 (temp timetables) | PVR - 9
56 - PVR 11
60 - PVR - 6 (temp timetables) | PVR - 7
61 - PVR - 4 - 5327/5333-6

Deptford has a number of isses, from not enough branded buses for 20/20A, buses dropping to bits, not enough Euro 6 buses, and allocations atrocious

(25 Jan 2023, 9:53 pm)Unber43 wrote Also there were 3 Solos going to Newcastle today, aswell as a East Durham Explorer & Connections4.

Aswell as Lothian B7 on the X1. And the ExGNW Geminis of which there were atleast 2. Pretty dire for just a few days before the CAZ

(26 Jan 2023, 4:49 am)Dan wrote The PVR of the 20/20A is 12, not 14, and is made up of 10x branded Streetlite and 2x Voyager double-deck.

There are 3 spare Euro 6 double-decks for a Newcastle CAZ PVR of 12 including one school board which runs a peak X1. This is more than sufficient.

Hopefully a lot of Omnidekkas will still be here for a bit

(26 Jan 2023, 8:34 am)ne14ne1 wrote Why? The should kept off front line work, they look so old especially inside, they have no NSA and I don’t know if the doors aren’t as tall as other buses but I’ve managed to brush/knock my head a few times now when boarding one.
They’re grim.

(26 Jan 2023, 7:53 am)Unber43 wrote Deptford have more than 15 Deckers I think 

11x cityRiders 
6086
6087
6049
3941-3
6356/7 = so that is actually like 19, 18 not including 3941.

(26 Jan 2023, 9:02 am)Dan wrote I said PVR plus spares, not entire allocation!

What you’ve proven, however, is that there is no shortage of Euro 6 DD at Deptford - there are other services/boards allocated Euro 6 vehicles which can be downgraded to ensure conformity with the CAZ.

(30 Mar 2023, 3:40 pm)Unber43 wrote One thing I noticed is, a lot/all of the 15' Plate StreetLites are CAZ Compliant, with some Ex-Riverside Optares (11 Plates). However the Prince Bishops aren't. 

Not sure about the Purples Solos/ Graphites

(30 Mar 2023, 4:52 pm)BusLoverMum wrote The Prince Bishops streetlites aren't generally allocated to routes which enter the Newcastle CAZ so there is no reason why they should be prioritised for conversion.
