6016 complete with a shiny back end out today on Metro replacements, 3862 / 6013 / 6022 / 6026 / 6036 and a vyking also seen.
I think when 4906, 4907, 4908 and 4909 get replaced by the Citaros on the X7 they'll come to Chester and allow 4837, 4838, 4839 and 4844 to be withdrawn. I personally don't think 4840 really needs a replacement at Riverside because theres already a lot of spare vehilces there that sit in the yard and do nothing, but I think 4944 was sent along there about a week before to allow it to be withdrawn. Possibly a few Renowns can be sent onto driver training and let all of those coaches go, what I've never understood is that the drivers train in a COACH but go on to drive a BUS, if you know what I mean.

(02 Mar 2014, 7:02 pm)Dan Think I've suggested that once or twice in the past.
4944 replaced 8229. I agree - I don't think there will be a replacement for 4840 either.
A number of other Renowns are also due for withdrawal too, but I doubt they will have a replacement either.

Going back to the topic of 4840s registration, I know its history but how did the registration become so significant to GNE? Basically, how did GNE get the registration or if they had it made specially created what was the reason behind it? If anybody knows of course, im not saying you're a bunch of historians

I think with the B10BLE withdrawels, they probably go for the vehicles that are in a worse state.
