Withdrawn while getting repainted eg red arrows first then the 6 that were on pronto plus 6038 or they could move to a different depot that needs them I think Riverside and Stanley to replace the Olympains due to them not being low floor then the entire fleet can finally be low floor for once
If nobody wants 3941 , send it to Crook to replace 6038 please

You know me I like to know ahead of time so I can plan ahead my spots and start rehearsing the real thing

(21 Feb 2016, 3:45 pm)Michael wrote Dan said that 6038 will remain at Crook as a spare.
I also thought the Pronto B7's could be withdrawn temporally to be repainted as it seems the best idea, as they won't be needed straight away.
Not sure what the Pronto B7's will replace.
(21 Feb 2016, 1:33 pm)Dan wrote News page updated - I've been slacking...
But yes; 3888 will be trialled on the 434/448, so Percy Main have given Stanley 6030 in exchange (for the duration of the trial period).
(21 Feb 2016, 5:00 pm)Jimmi wrote At least you have 9106, I still need it plus 9105 now as well! Also at least you can drive, I will have to get the 85 there and back a 30 odd minute gap between buses! The things I go through for this hobby...So 9105 is going to remain on the x81/185 or allocated to any board

The move was last considered to be a bad idea which basically resulted in Go North East having to buy a large number of Double Deckers second hand to counter a shortage after they won a number of Contracts.
