- Crusader (Only a very small number of journeys warrant deckers but would be handy for Metro replacements too).
- Stanley Network (Omnidekkas are fine and further changes may happen to the 6/X70/X71).
Could've mentioned the Coaster but will need to see how the 22 gets on. But for the meantime, I think the B9s are staying put for the next year but whether or not they get re-liveried, will tell whether or not theres going to be investment.
I think the TTX is a likely candidate but GNE might wait until the Scania E400MMC has been tried, thats if they do trial it.
The Crusader on some runs are busy as out however i'm sure it was said a while that GNE want to avoid having 2 different types of buses a route.
Like you said, having deckers on the route could help with metro replacement but come on Davey, we know that'll be every week so the full allocation can be deckers!
The TTX buses will probables be replaced soon so it doesnt end up like what happened to B7's.. loads of breakdowns etc.
I do hope we the Scania E400MMC in the NE.
Dont get me wrong Davey, i'm not disagreeing with you at all, i think you're right but just added stuff on.
