5284 will be the fleet liveried spare bus for service X5 (of course forming part of the daily allocation until all branded examples are in service - as it will allow another bus to be transferred out immediately).
If not required on service X5, it should be used on other services which are allocated Merc Citaros instead (service 9, 35/36).
5284 will be returning to Saltmeadows Road for further preparation work tomorrow afternoon, and is unlikely to enter service this week. Hopefully ready by Monday.
Thanks for the extra info Dan.
Will the Citaro's remain on the 9 then?, with the extra 2 coming from DD.
What about 5337/38?
