Transfers/Loans
682 is still at Consett and has been for a while, usually on the Xlines/6 service.
6006 has been at Consett last two days.
6161 from Riverside to Consett, potential loan?
6366 is also on Loan at Consett.
6945 is on loan from Riverside to Deptford.
6960/6961 both working at Consett.
6365/6370 have both transferred from Washington to Deptford.
Expected Transfers (based on discussions on this forum)
Xlines Red Streetdecks to Deptford for the 56, with the 56 B9's being allocated to depots to withdraw the remaining older B9s from EYMS/Manchester and the older Enviros 400s.
21 Streetdecks to Percy main to replace the Streetlites which will in turn replace the Versas.
Not sure whats happening with Deptfords B5's or the actual plan with the new Ultraliners at Consett/Riverside as they arent on the correct boards as of yet.
Image the older solos including the Venture ones will be withdrawn and potentially see the Enviro200s in there place, temporarily with the 3 supershuttle ones being displaced off the X66.
I noted from looking at Bustimes.org earlier that E400MMC's 6339/6340/6341/6346 and 6350 are all currently VOR at Consett which explains the number of loans they currently have.
The new Ultraliners I would allocate to the 47 at Consett and X10 at Riverside personally.
I presume to the other Solos will be 721/723 at Hexham that will get Withdrawn, quite mad to think we're reaching the stage already where these will be all Withdrawn over the next 2 Years
Deptford B5's I'd paint them into Prince Bishops and allocate them to Peak Time Boards of the 20/20A/X20 and 65.
Sending the remaining E200MMC's from the X66 to Consett makes sense to me, I do think services V1/V2/V4 should be merged into existing services that terminate in Consett in future services changes.
