(29 Apr 2026, 8:05 pm)Rapidsnap wrote With 5499 being a rare vehicle type (it and 5500 are the only two examples of the type in the country), I expect they are awaiting parts for it which have probably been delayed somewhere.

Surprised they didn't take the seats from 6190 before being withdrawn

(17 Jun 2026, 1:41 pm)Retro Nero wrote Yes , now that you mentioned it, sorry  it must be permanent

(17 Jun 2026, 3:49 pm)X919 WGR wrote Only reason I could see is for them to replace the remaining 3 Ex East Yorkshire Gemini 1s that are used on the 850 Scholars or the Ex Manchester Gemini 1s at Washington

GNW have 7 of that batch currently out of service with the Electroliners taking their place, would'nt be surprised if all 7 of the 61 plates transfered across to replace the 4 remaining B9 G1's along with the 2 enviros dual doors still in service. There are also 9 60 plates B9s also out of service. 

You also have the 3 older versas still in service that could be withdrawn, with deckers taking place on other services and cascading other single deckers.
