(12 Nov 2022, 4:25 pm)Dan wrote The Metro Replacement contract releases 27 Euro 6 double-decks back into the main fleet, and GNE are taking additional buses from London on top of this.Really the issue is going to be Euro 6 spares which are upto the spec which the usual buses should have.
Washington have enough single-decks to run the 25 and 28/29 without issue, they just need to allocate the correct buses.
Riverside and Percy Main probably are a bit thin on the ground on Euro 6 double-deck spares at the moment (though this was to be expected as 3941-43/62-65 were used for the Metro Replacement contract due to late delivery of the buses from London), but the ex-London Volvo B9s will assist with this.
Hopefully while not upto spec those 27 will deal with all the issues, are the 27 going to replace all the Dual Door G2's, OmniDekkas & Voyager Deckers?
