But, if the Angel was to get an upgrade this year lets say to Streetdecks or B5TLs, do you think that 6118-21 could end up also being replaced with either newer single deckers / double deckers?

Not saying that they're old by any means but looking at the spec of them compared to the Streetlites plus the fact that the Angel is more of a hop on / hop off route, do you think they'd make suitable spares for the Angel (3x) and Castles Express (1x) if they were fitted with NSA's? The only thing that they would miss would be plug sockets.

Not sure on that, although it would be great, i can't see it, it was already said that some journeys on the Red Kite, need the B9's so 4 Streetlites to replace those won't happen. 


Rumours are going around that the B5's from the Angel will head to the Coaster.


If true....



15 B5's to the Coaster


3962/65 to a spare role


All 17 Omnicities remain at Percy Main for the 11 and 19, allowing the Volvo/Scania single deckers to move else where to withdraw older ones.
