Why are you ASSUMING the omnidekkers are replacing existing deckers. Have you been informed of this for certain. You could be barking up the wrong tree. I still think they are coming to replace some single deckers also. Start looking at other routes not just existing decker routes
- X1 lacks power sockets and NSA's are outdated. Could do with brand refresh and the B9s would almost pay for themselves.
- Crook needs newer deckers for the X21 and despite the Omnidekkas filling in short term if they do, they won't be feasible in the long run. Also, GNE are facing some competiton from Arriva with their MAX X12 service.
- CLS is 2 short for the Angel PVR of modern Gemini 2's. 2 could be fitted with Flybrids and sent there.
- Deptford might need the vehicles to allow the 56 to be re-instated to every 10 minutes.
- TEN is still short of 1 vehicle due to 6084 being needed on the TTX regularly. Will still need another 2 on top as well (1 at Hexham) to allow the B7s to move onto other roles.
- Cobalt Clipper will probably need another PVR increase due to the mayhem at Cobalt some nights.
