Will they replace the branded Scania's so they can go to SM for repaint, quickens them up to get other buses done.

(07 May 2016, 9:39 am)S813 FVK wrote I personally can't see any reason for them not to allocate them from the start of service.

The branded Scanias will obviously going for a repaint, too. Although maybe not all at once.

Final preparation for service should be achieved on at least six of the seven which have arrived so far (5420/21/22/23/24/25/32) on Monday, ready for run out on Tuesday morning. There may be a few things that crop up at last minute, though.

Me too but i was just asking because its happened in the past where new buses have entered service during the day.

Don't see why at least 4 of branded can go to SM for repaint once the Streetlites start to enter service.

I have mine.

On another note today I was on my first Green Arrow solar (since the changes) it was 4940 and although I was only on from House of Fraser to the Metrocentre Bus Terminal. It was a really good solar, possibly the best I have been on

Not so sure about 5201. In much better visual condition, internally, than most but the heating seems to be stuck on full. Even with all the windows open, it's not cold.
