The thing I wonder, if you were to take 4660-62/64 off the 85/685, what would be a suitable replacement for that route? Mind that said Pulsar's are becoming a much more regular sight on there, I saw two on there on Saturday. My other fear is based on current allocations, if the route were to be upgraded to MAX, how frequent would the appearances of non MAX spec buses be? It would especially be made worse by the fact that Jesmond don't have any MAX services at this time, so there wouldn't be much in the way of spare MAX specification buses.


Yeah there is that, but if all the scanias were to come to Darlington once replacements had been found for the 85/685 would it be possible to do this:

X66/7 - 4649/51/55/6/7
X26/7 - 4645/6/7/8 (rebrand 4643/4)
X75/6 - 4652/4/8

And then :

8/8A - 4650/3/9 and then maybe 4660/1/2 on the 12/12A and have 4664 as spare along with 1406 and 1416

Then have 4660/1/2/4 spare, send 1506/7/8/9/10/11 to Jesmond for 85/685 and then to replace 4653/9

Then repaint all the 14** pulsars and put them on the 1/5/5A/19
