But that means 5501-5504,09,10. Which are branded for the X66 would be moving. ASwell i think the 49/49A should be branded, but I doubt GNE have 12 Euro 6 Spare for the 49/49A & X66.
Tho 5501-5504 would suit the 61 imo really well.
Quaylink Versa's will probably be kept at Riverside, for the 49/49A/X66 aswell as spares but also 41/41A need something permanently its meant to have 8343-46 however it seems they don't have any atm, with 8339-41 should be on the 34. But they're currently at Deptford as they don't have enough spares at all, and that is with only 1-2 buses off a PVR 18 route.
See I can't see the Versa's on the 49/49A. The Versa's got a decent refurb and arguably would be better on a frontline service like the X20. The Merc's are also expensive to run and finished hence why there's shortages at Deptford, if you moved all the Versa's you'd have 2 spare for them with the 4/5 Streetlite's it's quite a lot of spare singles that.
Who knows tbh, I do think they'll focus on getting the 08/58/10 Merc's and the remaining 09 Versa's with the displacements though so something will end up at Deptford, it's just what.
Btw I think everything left at CLS now will end at Consett other than the 21/X21 which will end up at Riverside rather than them going to Washington including the 34/34A.
