Although that leaves no spares though (as for a new batch) and just 2 spares in the whole batch....
Same ideas tbh
I think 6 of the 8 Red Kite Streetlites will go on the X20 (after a small refurb) for X-Lines too - wonder if all 6 Solo's will be allocated to the X20 for the time-being, allowing the 3 Citaro's coming spare from the 26/27 to go on the X6/X7 for extra capacity - but then again... will the X20 need bigger buses too?
With the X20 still being branded X-Lines on the GNE site I think the 6 solo's will presumably remain allocated for the time being. Looking across the board at the service changes from June I got that the new daytime requirement for the 49/49a was 7 vehicle's which alongside the current dedicated spare leaves 3 available Streetlites - personally I think it'll be three Streetlites that make their way onto the X6/7. If my own PVR calculations are correct then 8 Mercedes Citaro's are being freed up across the fleet and as such I predict that these will make their way onto the 35 displacing the Solars for the time being. Not long to wait until we see what will end up being allocated lol
