Apologies it was the Pronto B7's my mistake.
Has there ever been plans for the Citaros on the 9, 35 and 55 to be removed this year. Agreed on ex London stock though (hopefully nothing stupid like last time - Dual Door Vikings on the 21) mainly to get arid of the remaining B7TL's and Omnidekkas for schools.
Deptford will probables keep them now, due to the Streetlites being able to be upgraded to Euro 6 because of this i would imagine the 10 Red Kite Streetlites will end up on a Newcastle route (although the Enviro zone is delayed due to Covid-19).

The Citaro's can't be upgraded to Euro 6, which means we're likely to see all the Crusader/Tynedale express and 5481 - 5487 (5481-87, i think they were confirmed to be going anyway) all withdrawn by the end of October.
