Ah yes, Andrei's always right, everyone else always wrong.... And he always has to have the last word... (sits back to wait for response... )

When will the ADL Enviro200MMC arrive on demo for the 4?

And when will 9083 and 9084 go back to Optare?

You were wrong as your previous post alluded to their only being "one red one", never mind I identified which one of the three it was.

Well, this whole thread has been rumours and speculation about them getting the Citaros off the 4, in due course.

The lack of announcements is their only problem. The 50 passes my house like clockwork.

Their is only 11 branded mercs for the 4 with two corporate spares, the 5/50 when branded was 12 branded omnicities with two corporate spares therefore this wouldn't work.

I would however like to see the 50 receive brand new buses, the 5 on the other hand I think would cope with a Solo SR which would mean the interworking would have to be removed.

I would of expected the citarios from the 4 to be sent to deptford for the 35 if the 4 got investment , and all spare citarios from Washington sent to other depots which have them already

(09 Feb 2019, 8:48 pm)Malarkey One of the Metrobus Scania Omnicities is at Percy Main with a few panels already missing, anyone know which one of the three it is as I wasn't able to obtain an id on it.

Would imagine the other two will be at Washington and Stanley.

OAW is the example at Stanley.

Delivered earlier today, and will be allocated to service 4 for two weeks. Brand new, straight out of the factory (only PDI'd on Thursday gone). Registration mark YX68OXA.

Bog standard run-of-the-mill no-thrills E200MMC. It's 9.625m in length, so slightly bigger than a Solo. Not ideal in terms of capacity but all ADL had available.
