Anyone else think they should just have the 64/95 as 1 full route?
As for the Diamond, i think well see new buses to, Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid's... the Citaro's on the route are also due a repaint next year, they may do it early if these changes happen........
As for the X30/X31/X70/X71 along with the new numbers if they're split, i think will have a full allocation to OmniDekka, as were due some more at end of the year, as we know GNE don't like having 2 kinds of buses on 1 route.
Yeah it would definitely make sense for the 96 to join the Highwayman brand. Not sure if it would justify new buses though, but possibly if the Diamond did get upgraded it could receive the Citaros there, and the Scanias could go on the 17/57.
If the X30/X31 was split, I wouldn't think the Stanley-Lanchester part would need double deckers, possibly it could be allocated Omnicities?
