(07 May 2019, 8:19 pm)enviro7501 Chester Versas could go to Deptford for the 35. Also, I'm pretty sure the 11 will need full sized single deck buses.

The Omnicities are barely half full these days at most points.

Honestly so are many other buses these days, hence why we are seeing cuts.

Shame, i do hope the Omnicities come to Deptford in the future.

Could the Blue Arrow Omnis go to Consett, releasing 5481 - 5485 to Percy Main allowing 4978 - 4982 to get withdrawn?

If that is the case wouldn't you just keep the Omnicities at percy main, what's the point in moving Citaros there?

Why does the X30 need to re-gain an allocation of OmniCitys? Surely the previous allocation of OmniCitys were removed from this service for a reason.

Drivers are more than happy with the mercs, less rattles, fast & warm. Even passengers commenting on how nicer they are. Only the engineers who don’t enjoy working on them!!

Just seen an example of an 'allocation correction' on the map. 6132 doing the 19:15 309 to Blyth was swapped over with 6113 in New York. Presumably this will be due to that particular board running until later tonight.

Not anymore. The old 19.20 used to be a misc working but the 19.15 Haymarket departure once in Blyth at 20.15 then forms the 20.40 Blyth to Newcastle then the 21.45 Newcastle to Blyth departure before heading back to the depot. I'd imagine the evening workings and maybe frequency will change again at somepoint with Arriva now moving the evening 308s to xx:12 and xx:42.

That's one of the current Wear Xpress solos in for repaint too. From zooming in it looks to be 691.

Pity the brand has been designed by Best Impressions though. What is wrong with using Beacon?

Assuming Cobalt & Coast was designed by Beacon, looking at that compared to XLines should tell you why it's been designed by Best Impressions...

I don't follow...

If anything, I would say any criticism of brands should be directed more at the client, rather than the design agency. 

If the company chooses to accept the design put forward then it must satisfy their demands set out in the brief. If not then they would be more than welcome to reject it and put forward amendment suggestions. It's very much a puppet on a string scenario. 

Beacon have been able to meet GNE's requirements for years (and obviously did with Cobalt & Coast [I do believe they designed it, but happy to be corrected])...what has changed?

The Cobalt & Coast was very much a work of the Managing Director, just made up by Beacon...
