Also, which single decks could be used? If GNE weren't cash strapped and franchising wasn't on the horizon, B8RLE's run into the ground for 15 years would be perfect on the 45/46/47!
Yeah I believe so, it always done well the Red Kite imo but it's been a shambles pretty much since it turned into X Lines. Something personally I'd scrap.
I haven't checked what the PVR would be but the 69 Plate Enviro 200 MMC's which are sitting around doing nothing much lately should be enough? Sure they'd be able to do it fine. Need something for the X66, spare Q3's electrics maybe?
Upgrades for everyone really, could easily get some of these second hand Streetlite's that are supposedly coming up to cover the 6, then the B9's and E400MMC's can fill the quota up on the X5/X15/X70/X71/X72.
Be quite an upgrade to what's going around currently imo.
