Perhaps more of an irrelevant detail, but I think it could probably be guessed that it has had a trip to Saltmeadows recently, as that seems to be the only way that the non-complete corporate liveried vehicles appear to receive the missing bits.

I think 4932 was completed on Monday, along with a couple of other buses based at Riverside, whilst undertaking repairs on buses missing branding.

(10 Aug 2017, 5:39 am)Dan wrote No mix up at all.

5292 will be re-allocated to Deptford as the spare for the X5, with 5284 transferring to Riverside in lieu to be their spare.

After 5299 - 5304 come back from refurbishment, will they continue in sequence with 5305 and so on.....only asking because the rest of the batch getting done. (not connections 4)


I think the 9 will lose the Citaro's and gain something else, the service to me doesn't warrant them, always empty when i see it, i'm surprised its still running the way it is.

(10 Aug 2017, 4:51 pm)Citaro5326 wrote Theres nothing else in the fleet available for it , 5333-5336/628 all have taglines too

(10 Aug 2017, 4:55 pm)Michael wrote Could swap the fleet around?, give the 9's Scania's and the 4 Citaro's could go else where (along with 1 or 2 from Riverside, if not needed, as it planned all the 10 reg Citaro's would be Livery) 

Or if not, give the 9 a full allocation of 1 type of bus and not a mixed....

-----------------


If the 35 keeps Citaro's that should also have a dedicated spare (maybe 5328?)



5329, 5330, 5331, 5332, 5333, 5334, 5335, 5336 are all the remaining 10 Reg Citaro's for a spare role
