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Only 2 unbranded services will remain at Deptford soon, the 9 and the X36 which is getting withdrawn soon, makes sense for the 9 to become branded "Black Cats" too.
Wasn't there something mentioned about them ending up on the X84/5. The PVR is expected to increase with the extension to Newbrough so that would work - PVR of 5 and a spare. Perhaps the 5 buses from the X84/5 will end up Black Cats for the 9 - there would be one spare left over from the 61 and 38 as the PVR for these are 5 and 1, a total of 6, but there are 7 Black Cats Solars at Deptford...so that would meet the PVR of 6.
