Will assume this pretty much marks the end of the Angel brand short term with the corporate stuff now in majority

The loss of 20-30 school contracts and introduction of the 10 or so single-door ex-London E400s at Consett (displacing the “interim” Hybrid replacement fleet) on the 16 should mean that there is sufficient scope to increase frequencies on double-deck routes, albeit with buses backfilled by lower-quality spares. All the OmniDekkas have been withdrawn and without these frequency increases I suspect some Volvo B7 or B9 would have been too.

Noticed the other day just two Angels were out on the 21, with the rest of the allocation comprising ex-London Volvo B9 and E400… On paper there is/was two Angel branded spare StreetDeck on the current frequency, so…!
