(19 May 2019, 2:54 pm)Malarkey wrote A large number of re-allocations last night:

648 - Percy Main to Hownsgill
697 - Deptford to Hownsgill
724, 725 - Crook to Percy Main

Would it not of made more sense to send 724/725 to Hownsgill with 648 staying at Percy Main and 697 going from Deptford to Percy Main.

4949 - Riverside to Peterlee
What services will this be used on while at Peterlee?

4982 - Percy Main to withdrawn
Interesting to see this Withdrawn given it was only repainted back 11 months ago and is probably in better condition than the B7RLE's retained in a reserve capacity.

Of the Blue Arrow OmniCitys, 5266 should be sent from Chester-le-St to Saltmeadows on Monday to get repainted. The others will all remain at Percy Main in Blue Arrow livery until space is available in the paintshop to repaint them. There are no intentions for OmniCitys to join the fleet at Deptford.

There is still a few WheyAye50 OmniCities which need repainting at Washington also, looks like the painters are going to be quite busy at Saltmeadows with the EYMS repaints on top of that.

Just out of curiosity will Ex London Metrobus Omnicity (YN08 OAY) which is at Percy Main for parts salvage be moving over to Chester-Le-Street to keep there Omni's going?

I'd beg to differ, the suspension collapsed last week whilst it was on the 310.
