1711 has been withdrawn (again another reserve but was still being used...) with the arrival of 1653.

Even the introduction of the new fleet later this year won't solve the problem, it didn't several years ago when they got the infamous Temsa Avenues!

And I forgot the Sapphire vehicles were Streetlites.

(13 Mar 2014, 5:59 pm)Kuyoyo wrote They won't replace 1101-5 and 7466-81 yet given they only arrived last year. The B10BLEs bound for Stockton should see off the remaining Prestiges not displaced by the Streetlites for the 5/5A. 4652/4/8/9 should be refurbished along with the other batch (and hopefully the OmniCity refurbishment won't end up like the B10BLEs - half fully treated, others merely repainted and some not even touched).
