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.

Get what you mean but what I meant was that if GNE would consider ordering 2x spares for the Angel, would it not make sense to order 4x Streetdecks / B5TLs to the same specification as the Streetlites on the Red Kite then transfer 6118-21 to Chester Le Street (3x spare) and Crook (1x spare)? All they would need doing maybe is fitted with NSA's.
