Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2017
(17 Dec 2017, 9:00 pm)S813 FVK No, it hasn't. It just seems to be the likely option given that now-known fact that the Waggonway Solars do not have long left and those Versas happen to be being released at a similar time (but then again, the Coaster Omnicities are being released too).
I agree that it would be nice to see the 35 gain the Versas for the same reason that you have stated although purely based on discussion earlier in the month about the whole 'council not allowing modified buses to be cascaded elsewhere until 2019' talk, it seems more likely that the Black Cats Solars will be going onto the 35 for now.
I think it's one of these cases where we get convinced that something is going to happen before it is made known and every post regarding that topic suddenly stops being clear that it is only speculation.
ive heard some rumour about ex london deckers , also on that note i think 4989 will be repainted or even bring 4968,4971-4975 back to make the 35. 4968-4975 would then be black cat's making 4989-4992 , 5212,5213 corporate spares between chester & deptford.

(17 Dec 2017, 9:24 pm)Malarkey Personally I wouldn't put the South Tyne Versas on the 28's, they can't even manage the route they are currently on...

(18 Dec 2017, 4:14 pm)BFK I think that it is highly unlikely that the Versa's currently operating on services 88/88A will end up at Deptford. They are Euro 4 engines and the services 35/35A require Euro 5 engines.

(18 Dec 2017, 5:57 pm)Michael That also rules out the Omnicities, as they're Euro 4, basically confirming they'll use the "Black Cat" Scania's as temporary replacement until better buses can be sourced, which won't be until 2019.... complete downgrade from a Citaro.....

(18 Dec 2017, 7:31 pm)Citaro5326 Or unless some route is recieving a decker upgrade which i carnt see the 35 getting it , 20s should get deckers
(18 Dec 2017, 7:49 pm)Michael I can't see that, they're replacing the ex London Presidents, so they should replace deckers on another route.

(19 Dec 2017, 3:30 pm)Dan Close but no cigar: 6060 was the one which was taken out of service today for repaint/branding.
6070 is VOR at Volvo for repairs - believe it was mentioned recently in the thread. It should indeed be the last to undergo repaint.
