Wonder if all of the other 2011 versa's at Deptford will get done?


I can see 8306-8309 going in to Go North East

(12 Apr 2017, 3:27 pm)Michael wrote Maybe not, but i just added it on because it is, saves people asking if its confirmed or not.

I've never really been a fan of the Simplicity brand. Hopefully we'll see something new for the 2s - although Versas do look good in silver.....

(12 Apr 2017, 5:58 pm)Michael wrote I would like to see it come back, not confirmed though.

What's the current allocation for the 67/69, i never see them.

(12 Apr 2017, 6:00 pm)Tom wrote I normally see renowns and the odd Solar on the 67

(12 Apr 2017, 6:01 pm)Jamie M wrote I'd stress the other way around - solars with renowns and vykings filling the gaps.

(12 Apr 2017, 9:38 pm)Tom wrote There is 14 versas at Deptford and 14 coaster Omnicities - I hope they aren't for the Coaster as the Deptford ones are some of the worst.

(12 Apr 2017, 9:52 pm)Malarkey wrote Yeah but the coaster has 2 Spares making the PVR 16, so there wouldn't be enough Versas for them to go on the 1.

(12 Apr 2017, 10:10 pm)Jimmi wrote Who says the 1 would have to have spares that are the same vehicle type? Washington now don't have any spare Omnicities for the 5/50 and instead has Citaro's to use as backups for these services (and service 4).

Can't see the Versa's going on the 1 myself and hopefully not the 5/50 either. It's not long since they put 8328 into the new corporate livery either.
