(24 Oct 2015, 9:14 pm)Diamond One Weekends at saltmeadows is the day off for staff it will most likely to commence on Monday for repaints only Monday to Friday repaints occur id expect a lot of former highwayman vehicles getting repainted to eventual Green Arrow Livery and the rest Blue livery more than likely destined for 57Ah right. Although it seems unlikely, they could both be repainted together and 5167-5171 could be repainted red and transfer to Percy Main to allow 5 of 5151-5159 and 5166 to be withdrawn permanently.

(24 Oct 2015, 9:26 pm)Davie I think 5167-5171 will be withdrawn before January, however they may want to withdraw the older versions first.

5293 is still at Stanley and 5239 is still at Riverside. The rest of the Omnicities are now at Stanley that were due to transfer and the other Citaro's are now at Riverside with the exception of 5295 which I think is still at Saltmeadows.

Services 6 & X70/X71 - PVR 10 - "Northern" branded Scania OmniDekka

Most of the "Venture" network of services interwork with each other, at a PVR of 10 vehicles, and as such "Venture" services V7/V8 will be allocated "Venture" branded Optare Solos.
Some journeys on services 64/95 are operated by Stanley, and these journeys will be allocated a "Venture" branded Optare Solo.
The PVR on services 45/46 has risen by one vehicle to increase layover and running time, which should improve reliability. 5401, which was previously allocated to service X43, will therefore form part of the PVR of services 45/46, and will presumably gain "Red Kite" branding in due course.
