Or they just won't repaint them...the X-Lines X45/46 Streetdecks have been at Riverside and Washington for how long now?
These changes do through up an interesting one now tho where they've withdrawn quite a few Solo's over the past few months due to contract losses, only to now seemingly be following a model of going in cheaper and have won the 82, R2, and now the 335/351/359 circuit, not to mention the re-increase on the 39/39A/39B and the X6, leaving them short of Solo's.
The 335/351/359 will need 5 Solo's plus 3 for the 41/41A would tally up with the Peterlee Purples. But then what would be used on the Peterlee network.
There are technically 2 Little Pinks to spare, if Versa's can be used on the AD122, then the AD122/684/687 circuit could be converted to Versa's releasing 664-666. Not sure where you'd get anymore from tho!
