(02 Jun 2013, 9:31 am)dans_bus_photos wrote Where did i mention the 36? I said the simpicity routes which is the 42 and quite possibly the 39 soon too! Sounds like to me you didnt want 8319 to be the centenary bus and are trying to think that it may be de-branded next week or so. For what i can gather your always right with everything associated with GNE even though you have no direct links to the company.

The current "SimpliCity" brand holds service 42 and service 42 only at the moment.
Previously, the "SimpliCity" brand held service 36 also, which is what 8319 was the designated spare for, until she was off-road.
I'll admit I didn't want 8319 to be the centenary bus, but I'm told the original plan was certainly not for 8319 to receive the livery. Perhaps plans have changed since I last spoke to my contact, I don't know. It wouldn't be debranded within a week, but perhaps a few months, yes. It would be silly to suggest the former.
I'm sure we went through this a few days ago too. I - like most other enthusiasts - have a contact who has access to information within management. I don't release this information publicly until it happens, though one or two hints may be given once it is in the works. For all you know, my Uncle John could work in management and he tells me everything - you have no idea, and you're in the exact same boat as I am, as far as I'm aware. You may have a few contacts who are senior staff, but guess what? Snap.


Please see a previous post I made, following on from a post you seem to have replicated.
