I'm glad Deptford are losing the Versa's.......


Only 2 unbranded services will remain at Deptford soon, the 9 and the X36 which is getting withdrawn soon, makes sense for the 9 to become branded "Black Cats" too.

(14 Jun 2017, 7:56 pm)Michael wrote The 61 also goes quite far out of the Sunderland saver zone too but that's also becoming "Black Cats".

They won't be Volvo as, apart from the hybrid, they do not offer a Low Carbon certified bus.

Obviously I do not know the thought process behind the inclusion of the service in the brand but it is obvious to me that the Sunderland Saver tickets advertised on the side of the buses is not it.

Anymore Streetlites arrived?

5467 received Black Cats branding on Tuesday, and 5464 received Black Cats branding today - four here now (5463/64/66/67). 5465 and 5469 are both at Heysham Docks and may be delivered tomorrow, along with the final Citylink57 Mercedes Citaro (5297).
