(16 Mar 2015, 9:11 pm)Malarkey Well we will make that 3 then shall we, thought Riverside might of got a Spare for the X66 if a Streetlite is VOR, would also provide a Spare for the 53/54 if not on the X66 if one of there Streetlites are VOR, Thinking with Logic Citaro5284 Wink .

I wonder (if that happened) how long I would be before they went off route  Tongue

Just thinking, if the Omnicities from the Red Kite did go onto the 11/31/32, I wonder if the four from Percy Main could be transferred over for the 47, then the B7RLE's could go on the 9?

That sounds like a good idea.
That would mean that the 'Toon Link' is fully operated by OmniCities (but only on a good day  Wink ) and not a funny allocation.

I think they'll stay at Riverside for service 47, and the renowns will more than likely be withdrawn

Yes but then you wouldn't have a consistent allocation.
If they transferred to Riverside all of the Toon Link services would be Omnicity allocated.

I worked out after the Streetlite order for the Red Kite, X66 and Lime and due to Omni's moving else where (seems like Toonlink), they'll only be 24 left... which i would say will be modified in to being DDA and withdrawn next year.

Here it is:

29 B10BLE’s replaced by 29 Streetlites.

Omnicities to Toonlink replaces 8 B10BLE’s (Withdrawn & 5 Eclipses replaces 5 more B10BLE’s)

Unless these other 4 buses Citaro has mentioned are single deckers then take 4 more away...

Numbers maybe wrong and the decker order may help replace rest of the B10BLE's.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Remember, the full Toon Link PVR won't be replaced if the omnicities are transferred from Stanley. There's only enough to replace the B10BLEs and 1 B7RLE.

That's lame, thought it would of being straight forward... add 4 on the total B10BLE's left, which would be now 28, still could see them upgraded to DDA.

Then that would be swapping DDA compliant with DDA compliant...pointless. Yes, i know there is 5 B7RLEs and there are 4 omnicities meaning only 1 B10BLE can be withdrawn. For the sake of 1 vehicle, is it really worth all that money swapping two sets of vehicles to withdraw 1?

It would still be a high cost to swap the vehicles over, especially as there would only be two real benefits. I'm not saying you're suggestion isnt pointless though.
While on the topic...these 4 deckers:
Services X30/X31/X70/X71 replacing the 4 omnis which transfer to Riverside for the Toon Link replacing the remaining 4 B7RLEs which means all 5 can go off to replace 5 renowns. This may not work as 15/65 reg vehicles working with V/W reg vehicles - i know which id prefer.

Not really? The B7RLEs were last painted about 5 years ago now, so are probably due a fresh coat of paint. I'd imagine there'd be some sense them going into the red corporate livery, so that they can take on more of a 'spare' role in the later days. At the same time, the Red Kite Omni's are most likely going to need a repaint anyway.

Tbh it should go all Omni to make it all the same would be easier.


It also depends on what else is on order...Dan said more is to be reveled in one of his posts the other day.... which will probables be the decker order Tongue

I would imagine buses will start to go in the paint shop very soon because of the first new Streetlite arriving at SM. 


Not sure which order the repaints will be in, however it'll likely see a temporary stop to buses getting repainted which still use Northern.....

keep the B7RLEs at riverside for Fab57, allowing 5 B10's to be withdrawn.

I wonder if cadets 8242-6 are leaving Riverside for a new life ????
