I was referring to the Omnidekkas! RE: Recent Repaints - tyresmoke - 22 Jun 2020 Doesn't matter what vehicles operate it but that too will need to be Euro6 vehicles to continue when the CAZ starts, so would be a likely candidate for cascaded vehicles?

I can't confirm this but didn't they get upgraded to Euro 6 by Gateshead Council? Can't imagine them being too happy if they're send outside their area.

I was thinking more in terms of customer experience, last thing you want from a holiday (even if it is just over the water) is to be stuck on a soggy Omnidekka.

There aren't really any other services that they could go on in Gateshead, plus, they're being replaced with even more efficient vehicles so that may be a 'get out clause' in the contract RE: Recent Repaints - Storx - 22 Jun 2020 (22 Jun 2020, 3:47 pm)streetdeckfan wrote I was thinking more in terms of customer experience, last thing you want from a holiday (even if it is just over the water) is to be stuck on a soggy Omnidekka. 26/27 is the perfect place for them imo and also need upgrading aswell. Seems a waste putting them on the ferry buses when you have the ex London B9TL's etc. RE: Recent Repaints - Stanleyone - 22 Jun 2020 (22 Jun 2020, 4:41 pm)Storx wrote 26/27 is the perfect place for them imo and also need upgrading aswell.The ex London B9s were going onto the 93/94 and iirc 13/25/X22. I had wondered if the 58 might get upgraded to a DD route. RE: Recent Repaints - Michael - 23 Jun 2020 Wonder when we will see 6050 out of the paint shop?

I had wondered if the 58 might get upgraded to a DD route. Is that confirmed now?, if so, good move. I would of thought the same with the 58 - is it still getting electric buses? -------------- My thoughts on cascades: Red Arrow B9's on to the 26/27 Ex London B9's on the 13/25/93/94 Red Kite Streetlites to Deptford for the 61 and replacing 5481 - 5487 which will be withdrawn Citaro's from the Crusader (17) - to replace 17 Omnicities Versa's from the 93/93 - (7) to replace more Omnicities Only Omnicities left is the 14 for the 5/50 (due to the Euro 6 upgrade) RE: Recent Repaints - JP6004 - 23 Jun 2020 (23 Jun 2020, 12:59 pm)Michael wrote Is that confirmed now?, if so, good move. Dont forget the toonlink omnicities are only in service for hot spares and extra 2 for coach cover on scholars at Hexham while screens are installed. No doubt they will be withdrawn again in a few weeks That only leaves 13 at chester and 2 at Percy Main available to be displaced RE: Recent Repaints - Michael - 23 Jun 2020 (23 Jun 2020, 1:15 pm)JP6004 wrote Dont forget the toonlink omnicities are only in service for hot spares and extra 2 for coach cover on scholars at Hexham while screens are installed. No doubt they will be withdrawn again in a few weeks Oh ye, i forgot about that. Probables see the more Citaro's withdrawn then, after 5281-5287.

Surprised no one has been to SM, to try and get a picture of 6050.

I'd imagine so, churches are just like businesses, the longer they stay closed, the more money they lose (or the less they make!)
