So:
11 - Blue Scania's
40/41/42 - Indigo
I've just read it properly and I think it's because it's going to go in a circular up Station Road, then around the back to start at the other side of the forum. No one really gets on the 40/41 at the Metro anyway.
PVR of the 40/41 seems to be 4 and the 42 seems to 5. So maybe they will have enough after all but god knows how!
