In all the times I've seen the NHS shuttle 2 or 3 is most passengers , the majority were empty.

The 19 is mainly solos again, some of Percy Main's Omnicity's went to Riverside.

Same here tbh. I've never seen the H really busy. Most I've seen is 2

Saw 5499 moving around Riverside yard this evening. Not sure if it carried fleetnumbers while at Saltmeadows, but it has them on the back, at least, now. Maybe its entry into service is imminent.

The seats in this remind me of the old dual purpose ones found in Northumbria buses in the 90s.

Have they changed the seats since they first got them in?

Would you care to elaborate further on that point?

The full stop seems very aggressive there! Tongue

Here is an interior shot of 5499 when it was brand new and Pelican sent it to Showbus for display in 2016.

I assume this is why 5500 is now away at the moment being upgraded.

What will they be used for? Spares? In 2019 Coropate Livery?

Train8261 · 31 Aug 2021, 10:26 pm,

Weren't they meant to be used for the H service but now that's been operated by Scania CN230UB OmniCity

Aren't they coach seats?

They're probably just what was either laying around the depot, or what they could get in cheap!

Believe they came out of a Stagecoach E300 that was scrapped.

Y'know as soon as I saw the seating I thought that.
