Early 2000s it was anything spare on the 551 or the X50.
2006-07 was the Last Purchases 06 L94UB Solars
2007-2011 was the Lolyne Tridents or DAF Prestiges
2011-2014 was the Whey Aye Five O Solars
2014-2022 was the Whey Aye Five O/Fleet Livery Scania Omnicitys
2016-Now. Washington took over the Route when it joined the 5 so it was anything thrown onto it but mainly Omnicitys
2021-2022 had a variety of Omnicitys, Streetlites, Voyager Scania Omnidekkas, Long Length Omnidekkas
2022-Now. anything Washington wants to throw out.


As great as the previous allocations were. Its in the greatest phase at the moment because it jumped in vehicle upgrades from the Omnicitys.

Just curious but you think on the Omnicity's?

I know they were getting on a bit, but imo they were some of the best low floor buses, if not the best - I'm struggling for what's better, which have been made. Made light work of some of the express stuff like the X93, X66/X67 and 685 while everything after is getting destroyed on them especially the E200MMC's with Stagecoach. 

Ignoring the rattles, they had quite a comfortable interior aswell unlike the spartan Streetlite, in particular.
