If I remember from the last online talk, the X9/X10 was talked about and the 10 for new buses, dont think we'll see anything new anytime soon.

A total of 23 buses will be needed to cover the PVR with around 3 spares for the routes - total of around 26 deckers - hopefully if they go ahead, its E400MMCs.


Cascades:

5 B5's to the X84/X85
2 B5's in a spare role at Riverside


B9

16 B9's replace 16 Omnidekka's - which would be withdrawn


12 at Riverside
4 to Percy Main for the DFDS


We probables won't see this happen this year, I was going to suggest we might see the Mini bus routes getting upgrade as some are coming up 11 years old (2nd ones), the likes of 625-636 will be 10 years old this year... however some of them have just been repainted to "Little Coasters" so doubt that would happen in this climate.


More single decker orders, as we've had mainly a double decker order (apart from the electric buses), means they can start to get rid of the Omnicities/Citaro's or Versa's.
