As part of your role, you may be required to push the bus down the A19, if it breaks down.

Will 6043-48 get modified to include a buggy bay on the offside of each vehicle? Bearing in mind that this side has been fitted with luggage racks for DFDS work on vehicles which have been previously been equipped for this work?
Also, will a spare bus be getting ordered for the TTX?
If so, could it be likely to avoid a repeat of the tall ships scenario, see the 309 / 310 (x39) going standalone using 6084 and 1x ex TTX B9 as a spare for most journeys throughout the duration of the roadworks on Norham Road. Bearing in mind that the Silverlink will become packed at Christmas plus the fact that Billy Mill will also be busier with other traffic also avoiding Norham Road?
Any pics of the versas at Chester with revised brand see it do it sunderland.
Seems odd a sunderland brand on a Chester vehicle but I guess it can't be helped if deptford are short of drivers.
Do we know what brand the 2/2a will take now if deptford losing all the versas
If anyone wants Enviro400 City demonstrator 9098, it's currently on the 09:01 X21 from Bishop Auckland.

(03 Jun 2017, 10:03 am)Michael Last few orders for services X9/X10 haven't had a spare, can't see it changing now, hope i'm wrong though!The didn't order a spare, but the allocation ended up having a spare of the same spec (6084) or a downgraded spare (3963/4). It'd be madness to not have a spare somewhere.

(03 Jun 2017, 10:35 am)Michael Ye, the spare should be a B9 (once the new buses arrive), not the style of bus which is ordered, which is daft in my opinion.
Anyone want to guess whats ordered? - my guess is Wright StreetDeck's.

(03 Jun 2017, 10:38 am)S813 FVK I've heard B5TLs somewhere which may be more suitable. I wouldn't rule the Streetdeck out though.
Moving to the 35/36, will the timetables for the services in the future be split or will they remain in the same timetable? I am surprised that there were not any minor changes to come into effect tomorrow to coincide with the depot transfer eventhough i am not too sure why there would need to be any.

(03 Jun 2017, 11:07 am)Kuyoyo If it is B5TLs, I only hope they are to a similar spec to those used by Transdev on Coastliner - they look lush.....

(03 Jun 2017, 11:16 am)Jimmi Been on them Coastliner's and I do think they are great interior wise. Sadly it will no doubt be Civic 3 e-leather for us though
Wonder if it's possible to up the limited speed on the B5TLs as I think they are limited to 50mph. If B9's are in the states they are in now, I dread to think how quick the B5's get to where the B9's are now.

Anyone know when 9098 is next due out of Eldon Square ?

(03 Jun 2017, 10:45 am)Michael Ye, didn't think of those.
It should be split as they use different buses now, don't think we will see it split though.
