(29 Dec 2014, 11:15 am)Dan The PVR of service 20 is currently 12, but will increase to 20 vehicles, with plenty of layover time at each end.

(29 Dec 2014, 11:20 am)Michael LMAO, bloody hell, they'll need a lot of purple paint then..... unless they get the Volvo B7RLE's from the Toonlink, although there's only 5, it means they only have to paint 3 red scania's but of course that can only happen if the Toonlink gets new buses....

(29 Dec 2014, 11:25 am)Dan Do remember that the 'older Prince Bishops' are equipped with more modern Euro 5 technology, whereas those Toon Link examples aren't!
The examples which will join the current Prince Bishop allocation need to be Euro 5 - so Go North East needs to determine whether it's more cost-effective to repaint the Fast Cats allocation (also Euro 5) or to pay to retrofit more Scanias with Euro 5 technology themselves... If Go North East opts for the latter, I think service X36 will be dropped from the "Fast Cats" brand. It would seem that the X35/X36 services will no longer interwork, anyway.

(29 Dec 2014, 11:39 am)Michael Ye, 6100 will probables transfer over, with it being the highest non-branded B9 for the FAB 56, means they still have a branded spare for the 56 =).
I bloody hope not, it will be the X3 all over again!!!
(29 Dec 2014, 11:41 am)Tom No, 6100 will probably go to Percy Main.

(29 Dec 2014, 11:43 am)Dan Deptford don't have any services which require tachographs, though.
Whilst Percy Main would benefit from an additional Volvo B9 to compensate for their increased Cobalt Clipper PVR earlier this year, Riverside would also benefit from an additional Volvo B9 because they face the same situation with the TEN (difference being that Riverside are having to allocate a Volvo B7 on a daily basis as part of the PVR)..

(29 Dec 2014, 11:47 am)Michael Ye, i mis-read hes post, i thought it said Percy Main and not Riverside....
Well if 6099/6100 both transfer out then that leaves the FAB 56 with one spare.... do u think the FAB 56 could work with the 1 spare?

(29 Dec 2014, 11:49 am)Dan You've missed the point which I was getting at...
6084 is fitted with a tachograph - wouldn't it make sense for this vehicle to transfer to a depot which could do with having an extra vehicle which is fitted with a tachograph?

All buses marked with a 'T' are fitted with a tachograph.
