(26 Jul 2017, 9:47 am)S813 FVK I think the 28 does, surprisingly, include 5337/8 based on calcuations I have just done:
75 Citaros in the fleet, 36 have been refurbished leaving 39 unrefurbished examples. Taking 28 away from 39 leaves 11, the number of Citaros branded for 'Connections4'.

(26 Jul 2017, 4:48 pm)busmanT It is unlikely that the Omnicity will be refurbished, as they will be over 11 years old (first are 56 plate).

Any idea of timescale from now, before we might see these vehicles both back from refurbishment and onto their new routes?
Will 5303 which you indicate may go onto Tynedale Links, be refurbished also?
Here are some ideas me and my mate have come up with
5298-5305 - 35
5328-5334- hexham
5335/5336 to washington
Or
5324-5331- 35 or
5325-5332 - 35
Or
5305-5309/5325-5327 -35

6078 is now branded for the Tyne Valley Ten.
(30 Jul 2017, 8:14 am)G-CPTN The positive aspect of the new TEN livery is that the B9TLs will be kept 'longer'.

With the 2nd batch of Citaro's going for refurbishment, will we see any fleet changes? (apart from 5298 - 5304 going to Hexham)
Has 5425 re-entered service yet?, haven't read anything on it returning to service.[url=http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/item.php?operatorF=2&fleetnoF=5425#][/url]
