Cue someone digging out timetable literature from 2009... :s

(30 Jan 2016, 2:30 am)Dan Not too sure how much of a 'permanent' solution this is, but that is correct, in a bid to provide a younger vehicle and improve reliability on the 434/448 services (also why the two red Volvo B9s, 6116 and 6117, have been regularly allocated on weekdays since the contract started).I think personally, the following should happen rather than taking straight of Riverside who already need more B9s as it is:
3859 has transferred to Riverside in exchange - likely to be used on scholars only, so I'm guessing a few more dual-door Volvo B7s will crop up on the TEN.

(30 Jan 2016, 1:30 pm)DaveyBowyer I think personally, the following should happen rather than taking straight of Riverside who already need more B9s as it is:
- 6100 transfers from Deptford to Riverside in exchange for a Vyking owing to the improved reliability of the Fab 56 where despite still running late sometimes, can easily recover time at either end due to the PVR being reduced to 14 vehicles last year increasing layover time on a 12 minute frequency. 6100 then becomes part of the TEN PVR and branded accordingly allowing 6084 (which is fitted with a Tachograph) to become a spare for the TEN / TTX alongside 3963 / 3964 as well as 3942 at Hexham.
- 3941 then could transfer to Percy Main on a more long term basis to help with the 434/448 services.
