I think the less said about the previous 50 branding the better!
"The 49" "The 9" ngl that branden just annoyed me. I don't get how the 49 isn't branded.

And I'm sure Dan has mentioned in the past, as a result of that, the Omnicities can only be replaced on the 50 by vehicles of similar Euro rating - which basically means the Citaros can't replace them as they are only Euro5 (or Euro4).
Are the 66' plates not Euro 6. and then you have the rest of the 17' Plates from Deptford. Which should go onto 12/6. (Which should get branding like CityConnect or CityLink)
(02 Sep 2021, 11:18 am)54APhotography wrote Given the need for Euro 6 at Riverside for extras etc, it makes more sense to swap the Omnicities that will remain from Washington with Citaros for the 50/26.
That covers the 6/12 as well plus the capacity to carry on with the extras at peak times, albeit with less capacity than a B7 or Omnidekka.
I think a few more Citaros / OmniCity's will be being withdrawn later this year. But also the 03/04 plate OmniDekkas should be going by the end of next year if not before.
