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.

(10 Sep 2015, 5:01 pm)Tom wrote 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.

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.

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.

Me too.

It could be fully Omnidekka operation now but 1 is used on the 15/15A and the other 2 are spare.

Christ Michael that was rapid response to my post.

True but are these not used for Scholars/Peak Time Interworkings.

lmao i did, oops, thanks =D

They do end up being allocated to scholars although i don't think that any (apart from the one operating one of the 808 that interworks with the X70/X71) services are actually down to be allocated an omnidekka (includes Nexus contracts). I do think that one is allocated to the 794 though.

3864 and 3879 have been sold to Ensign today. They will be re deployed to Garnets for schools work.

Haven't seen 3879 since Tuesday morning since you mention it. Must have been withdrawn again.

It was allocated to Park View scholars this morning, but yes, Ensign are going to be buying the majority of the withdrawn vehicles.

Ah so its migrated back to CLS. When i managed to get a look inside on Monday, it looked really clean and well looked after.

(10 Sep 2015, 10:34 am)Dan wrote Stanley-based OmniCity 5253 has arrived at Saltmeadows Rd for repaint - let's see which colour this one goes!

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

Well - most of you got it... 5253 has been repainted black!

3963 is in the process of gaining an allover advertisement for Strongbow's apple-flavoured cider at Riverside at the moment.

Are we going to be getting all over advertisements for e-cigarettes next....?

I'll stick to ToonLink - like i said before i have a feeling the changes will be so they don't interwork anymore... hence the extra omni getting painted...

Seeing as I am on a roll (guessed black for the Omni), I reckon the next all over advert, will be for heroin and crack cocaine.
Just a guess like.
