(12 Jan 2015, 6:54 pm)Robert wrote Just look at 5326, it has just been repainted but it needs to be repainted again. I do agree though, for reasons regarding cost, i dont think they will be repainted. 
Finishing off with a question i see  .I think it will become clearer. The 2/2A will probably get the Simplicity Versas (from 42 and 61) with the Citaros going the other way (onto service 61). Theoretically, its the only way it would work. As for the others, i cant be exactly be as certain as i think i am with the 2/2A and 61. I can have a guess though - 39 to keep its current allocation (thats as far as im going   )

(12 Jan 2015, 7:01 pm)Michael wrote I think the 39 is allocated Versa's so they would have to be changed to cadet. 

With 2 spare Versa's remaining at Deptford, repainted in to Go North East colours, Chester-le-street could do with a spare. 

(12 Jan 2015, 7:02 pm)Tom wrote Or they could go on the 99?
Would replace two MPDs.

(12 Jan 2015, 7:03 pm)Michael wrote The 99 carries nothing but fresh air, i think they'll keep it as a MPD service, Unless the SOLO SR's go on the 99 and the 238 sticks with the East Durham MPD's.

With 2 spare Versa's remaining at Deptford, repainted in to Go North East colours or send one to Chester-le-street, as they could do with a spare. 

(12 Jan 2015, 7:06 pm)Robert wrote Hang on a minute, just thought, could 8306-9 and 8319 go to Riverside for services 67/69 replacing Cadets 8242/3/4/5/6? We all know how unreliable those 5 are...

(12 Jan 2015, 7:07 pm)Tom wrote Then there wouldn't be enough for the 2/2A?

(12 Jan 2015, 6:58 pm)Michael wrote Ye, with other repaints happening i don't think we will see any of the Silver citaro's repainted again (expect for 5326, 5327). 

Wonder how the Tynedalexpress brand would look on Silver?

(12 Jan 2015, 7:36 pm)Malarkey wrote That would be 5310 to 5319 and 5328 to 5330 and 5332 which are currently used on the 27.

As for the re-allocation of Vehicles at Deptford, I really do hope that Versas on the 2/2A are merely a Temporary Measure until New Vehicles arrive between March and May, I dont think the Versas would be at all suitable during the Morning/Evening Peaks as there always tends to be Standees on the Citaros.

(12 Jan 2015, 7:41 pm)Michael wrote I think Citaro should give us the info for the re-allocations for Deptford  

Also wonder if the 28/28A could receive the 5 spare Citaro's.. that route also has a 5 PVR 

I can just tell that Dan wants to post all the allocations but he's just gonna hang back

(12 Jan 2015, 7:57 pm)Michael wrote I do hope so, i wouldn't mind being the dude who does the allocations, i would give Deptford all the Citaro's and B9's =D 


Tbh my idea's would be the same as Tom, expect the Citaro's could go on to a few services:

(From Tom's post)

2/2A - Versa 
33/33A/39 - Cadet

38 - Cadet 
61 - Citaro (never thought of that) (expect i think these could go anywhere, the 28/28A/57/61 or the X85/X86)
238 - Solo
