6944-48/67 are being allocated to Hexham to replace the Volvo B7s there.

So the 687/X85/688/684 circuit will continue to have a double decker allocated sometimes? 6944-48/67 will all be repainted prior to re-entering service?

6907-10/12-18 to follow.

All have been converted to single-door at Thorntons but are being repainted at Saltmeadows.
