- Acquire a B5TL demo for the X1 for one month and if successful, then do the following:
- Order 7 B5TL's to replace 6001 to 6007.
- 6001 to 6003 would go to CLS for the Angel.
- 6004 would be a spare for the TTX.
- 6005 would be a spare for the X1.
- 6006 would be a spare for the Angel with 3962 or 65 acting as a push comes to shove role.
- 6007 would be a spare for the TEN with 3941 or 42 acting as a push comes to shove role.
I have seen a B7TL Gemini refurbished with similar seating to the B9TLs, so I don't believe they are likely to order any more Volvo double deckers for a while.
