(21 Aug 2017, 9:11 am)Michael wrote Stupid question but with rest of the Citaro's at Deptford gaining WIFI before they go for refurbishment, is it activated or will be remain off until after refurbishment?

(21 Aug 2017, 9:12 am)Dan wrote Already activated - just won't be promoted until after the buses are refurbished.

(21 Aug 2017, 9:16 am)Michael wrote Can you confirm if the Citaro's are stopping on the 9 (along with a full allocation) and 35 at Deptford?

Google maps says there's works on at New Durham Road and that Old Durham Road is gridlocked at the QE.

Presumably the same with the 1, 21 and X21.
Three Q1's on Beacon Lough bank earlier and 2 93's.
Two 94's followed in quick succession in the other direction.

If only there was some sort of flexible route for the X21. Bet that would be a great help

(22 Aug 2017, 9:24 am)Dan wrote 5317 was towed back on 11/08/2017, returning to service yesterday following repairs.
5318 will be towed back tonight, with 5328 being sent down to Blackburn in exchange.

(22 Aug 2017, 9:30 am)Michael wrote Thanks for the update.

Did 5298 and 5299 receive WIFI before they went to Blackburn, as the icon is missing from the fleet list.

(22 Aug 2017, 9:30 am)Dan wrote No, they haven't yet received Wi-Fi. Although it forms part of the refurbishment upgrade, the Wi-Fi is fitted directly by Icomera's engineer here in the North East, rather than at Bus & Coach World (like everything else). That's why everything being refurbished has already received Wi-Fi.

5298 is currently away receiving Eminox modifications at their factory in Gainsborough, and 5299 is away for refurbishment at Blackburn. They'll both be fitted on return from these places, instead.

(22 Aug 2017, 9:33 am)Michael wrote Ah right thanks.

They seem to flying through the Citaro's now, less than 20 to do now?, not on my computer so can't check the fleet list properly.

(22 Aug 2017, 9:40 am)Dan wrote There are 8 Citaros away at any one time (as of this evening, it will be 5299 - 5304, 5319 and 5328).

There are 21 Citaros left to go (5298, 5305 - 5309 and 5323 - 5338).
