(17 Aug 2016, 7:51 pm)JP6004 If they do get solos, do you think they will get an xtra solo to replace 8266? Means they will be able to get rid of all the merit/cadets

8266 does other work needing a full size bus first, so I doubt it will be replaced by a Solo when the time comes.

(17 Aug 2016, 5:19 pm)busmanT DDA not an issue as the 3 Olympian at Gateshead can remain in the fleet after 31 December 2016, they are used on a non registered contract. All other non-DDA will be replaced by ex Brighton Scania.

Go North East need to standardise on vehicle types, not buy all different types of buses. Streetlite use 50% less fuel than Citaro.

Oh, and watch out for flying pigs..........

Seen my first pig fly today........

Wonder if 4 of them could go to Percy Main to replace the 61 plate Solos then they could go on the 33 or 38?

I'm thinking the same thing, Though with one being red id think if it's destined for Deptford it will be Black Cats branded.

No point, they've just branded for them Indigo, if they do, they've just wasted time.

I know, you said indiGo Sunderland though so there would be no reason to change them Smile

Not sure if the 38 etc. PVR is more than 4 though?

Be good if that happens, looks to be the same batch, we'll have to wait for the fleet numbers to be released .

I think the 61 could get new buses so they're inline with the 60, Dan mentioned something about the Versa's on the 61 and why it wasn't included under the "Simplicity" brand on the site.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

True tbh, didn't think of that haha.

I think the 38/238 combined is 4 and the 33 - 3 PVR?

I hope they don't plan on using the indiGo brand again. 2 networks using the same brand is more than enough i think.

I don't see the problem of using indiGo again, it's a good little brand name, and there shouldn't be an issue if the networks don't overlap.
