I know 5248,49 will probably unfortunately be kept but the last 4 renowns at Percy Main 4912,15,16,17 im wondering if theyll be allocated or if any spare bus is to be used.

In other news 627 (NK11 DBY) has been painted into Indigo base livery ahead of upcoming service changes.

How many more Solo's need to be repainted again?

(08 Jul 2016, 6:53 pm)Pulsar wrote will the repainted solos be upgraded to Indigo standard with wifi etc.

(08 Jul 2016, 7:38 pm)Malarkey wrote Probs get Wifi & NSA's and that's it, doubt they'll be re-trimmed with e-leather though.

(08 Jul 2016, 8:07 pm)Tom wrote Looks quite smart the new Blue Arrow brand! 

And 627 should be refurbished to match the indiGo spec, don't see why it shouldn't?

(08 Jul 2016, 8:56 pm)S813 FVK wrote Well, judging by the Red Kite B9s at the moment, that probably won't happen just yet. Even if they fitted the B9s with NSA systems, at least the two biggest features will be available (of which Wi-Fi is already present).

(08 Jul 2016, 9:02 pm)Tom wrote Yeah I guess so would be a shame if they didn't like.

(09 Jul 2016, 7:27 am)S813 FVK wrote Yeah they should do, its only fair to the customers using the service. They could buy however many more is required to the same spec as the new buses in next years order which i think is unlikely.

(09 Jul 2016, 8:03 am)Adrian wrote Forgive my ignorance, but what's to not understand? Two services that share a common section of route, with almost a grouped brand? Makes perfect sense to me, and the colour will clearly help to differentiate the two to a customer.

Same concept applies to the Citylink 57 and 58.
