(20 May 2019, 7:17 pm)L469 YVK Not a PVR of 12 but with 14x StreetLites available:
- 8x CityLink 58
- 5x Blaydon Racers
- 1x spare


Wouldn’t the streetlites be replacing the scanias, im sure it was mentioned that a lot of the scanias will be withdrawn before this year ends?

Doubt we'll see the Red Arrows B9s refurbished, when Saltmeadows have re-trimmed a few already.

Again, looks smart apart from the replacement panel look on the front. I don't get why they think having a random blue panel looks good, its not only inconsistent between different models of bus, but its curvy and just doesn't go with the very straight angular lines on the rest of the livery. 

The open top president and the first streetlite in the new corporate livery look so much smarter & more professional with not having the blue panel up front.

Well Versas of the 58 would be the most logical choice for the Loop which would in turn replace the Scanias. Also, the Blaydon Racer Mercs would also help withdraw Scanias as well as the Connections 4 Mercs replacing Scanias on the 97/97A.

My god that thing is hideous! Was the person who decided to paint the front blue blind?

There's been an issue with the server which means the update hasn't worked. Hanover investigating.
