To be honest, I have a feeling a few from Washington will end up at Deptford personally to make up the PVR. But I could be wrong, they seem to be moving them out from there and there's not really anywhere else for them to go (can't see them being withdrawn yet personally). PVR 9 if I'm right and they've got 8, including 8331 since 2 died.

There's not a lot which can be moved as GNE aren't ordering anything and are only getting older buses from the south. 

X1 could do with another 5 StreetDecks atleast to boost it to every 12 mins and possibly compete with the 71 from Houghton-Seaham or various other extensions which could be done from various parts of the network. 

8 Country Ranger is another service whcih constantely suffers from breakdowns, seems everyday with a PVR of 6 there are between 2-4, I know GNE only brands what they need but really they should be branding some spares too when they do the repaints, atleast 1. 

But really there are well over 150-200 buses which need replacing

Really the 34 should be getting nothing better than an ex-London bus.

But today the allocations at Washington have been attricous not a single 6301-07 StreetDeck on the 50, meanwhile there are 4-6 X1's on the 50, like what on earth are they doing.
