Only ones free, is the spare ones...

I reckon some of the Omnicities will end up on the 12 displacing those Mercs.

Most likely 5283/4,5324/5 are my guesses to go over. I would expect that all Omnis go to Riverside which has been mentioned. The Citaros i have mentioned are all Corporate Livery Spare Buses which will mean the X30 is dropping it’s toon Links unless these are repainted. I will also add that the 57 PVR is Set to drop by 2/3 (unsure on amount) in mid march so they could be used instead of ones I have mentioned.

We've passed the changes and it was only on a night for the PVR to drop.

I really do wonder what will replace the 3 solos from deptford when they transfer to washington, as dan said previously the 33/A needs buses with NSAs due to the visually impaired customers who rely on the NSAs, does this mean the 33s will get upgraded to streetlites for the extra capacity on this busy route??????

Could 701 - 703 go to Peterlee and release 718 - 720 to Deptford where announments can be programmed.

The three currently at Deptford as to the exact same specification to the Solo SR's at Washington whereas the ones at Peterlee were purchased second hand are not.

6101-6105 are in service and 6106 is in the NE-don’t know if it service or at Saltmeadows and it looks like 6107-6109 are not in service (according to app) today so I believe they are out of service for the refurbishment

Note the base livery design has slightly changed on 6104 and 6105, with a light blue stripe contrasting better with the dark blue paint at the back.

Being honest I prefer that design to 6101-3's they also have a silvery half triangle on the behind the stairs window.

Are 6109-14 and 6115/7 (if they get repainted) getting advert frames

Yes, they'll all receive advertisement frames.

6101 - 6103 will receive these base livery modifications when the 'phase two' branding gets applied.

Hopefully the brand is designed so it avoids the advertisements frames... nothing worse when you see a brand half cut off by an advert....

When will the Cobalt Clippers get branded?
