8247-52 are NA52, just like South Tyne 8242-46.
I'm sure I read somewhere that the average fleet age would be 8 years old in 2016, after another two years of 80 buses per year investment.

Ooh la-la!
Impressive.
On a somewhat similar note...
Percy Main now have a silver B9 for driver familiarisation purposes. I believe Deptford still have 6101 too. No "Fab Fifty Six" branded examples as yet.

And also, the 56's blind looks a little different to what it looks like at present - with the same white number as X1, X85 etc, and same font as the 58... Quite like it, especially in the dark.
