Crusader doesnt need wifi, instead it needs newer buses e.g off 21 Angle and NSA.

I strongly suspect that the mercs currently on the 27 might be in better nick than the hybrids on the angel.

The 21 and 27 are around the same time wise to, not sure how they would cope on the 27, maybe a smaller route would suit them better? however i have no idea what route(s) that could be.

I think the 27 would suit extra capacity

Definitely while the metro is so rubbish.

I also think that if advertised well and improved the X36 could carry more people and be more frequent

Not sure what they could do to improve the X36.

Any idea's on how they could?

Just saw a prince bishop pass me on felling by pass at heworth so another one for repaint

Ryan did you find out which Prince Bishops this was?

Make it quicker as an 'X' service and advertise it as a Metro alternative

They would have to miss a few area's out which i don't think would be fair, could loose out on more money that way.

With the upcoming changes in May to the X36, i think we will see it drop to hourly.

Nope , essuming it could be 4969

[Ryan99]

Has 4954 (NL02 ZRX) been repainted yet?

By the fleet list on here its still branded but i thought it got painted.

Can't have been either of them - 4969 was on 20As and 4968 was on 33s on Saturday.
I didn't see 4954 however.

4954 was on the 20

[Ryan99]

In my opinion they should do it from first of the batch till the last off the batch eg 4945 - 5217

It has been repainted alongside 5243/5/6/7 ahead of transfer to Washington on Saturday evening (may leave it until Sunday with the lower PVRs?) for Whey Aye Five 0 services 50 and 5.

Wonder if 5248 will move to Washington as a spare role for the 5/50.

It will only move over once the Streetlites enter service.

I doubt it, as there'll not be enough Omnicities for the 9.

Was just editing my post to say:

Only after the Streetlites enter service.
