(11 Dec 2016, 4:47 pm)Michael wrote Don't think we'll see new buses on the angel in this financial year, maybe the 2017/2018 one (June to May?) but you never know.


Hopefully the X9/X10 are down for new buses, along with the TEN or Cobalt Clipper (or maybe all 3 services? Tongue), would be helpful, it also means first of the Vykings could go.. maybe GNE might invest in more deckers this year compared to single deckers?

Wonder when we will see the first new buses arrive?


40 new Streetdeckers (with no tables) replaces


28 Presidents 
12 Vykings


Means only 4 Vykings remain BUT i very much doubt that GNE will buy all those at once!


The TEN could be a candidate for investment Imo, As the PVR is allocated a mix of buses with varying specs, The B9TL's could then go to Stanley ( rough guess there's a similar amount of Omnidekka's at Stanley ) to replace the majority if not all Omnidekka's on Northern's 6/X70 and X71, Hopefully a brand of some sort could be introduced if that were to happen.

Omnidekka's could then displace President's and Vyking's to either disposal or float vehicles, With a small pool of Vyking's being allocated to Riverside for Jewish Scholars and Private Contracts.

Just a rough idea with no exact clue how many buses I'd be tampering with  Tongue
Might try and create a plan when I have time.
