As for GNE's Orders this year, these are my Rejigged Predictions.
Enviro 400MMC - X21
Euro 6 Mercedes Citaro - 8/78
Optare Versa 11.7m - 57/X40/X66/Toonlinks (Further Standardizing Riverside Depots Fleet as Dan likes to put it
Optare Versa - M2/M3
For Double Decks, this is what would be good to happen:
- 16 MMC'S to Washington displacing 14 B9TL's and 1 B7TL.
- 6049 to Riverside for TTX
- 6050 and 6051 to Percy Main for CC and Spare Role (6051) with 6117 to Riverside for the TEN.
- 6052 / 6053 to CLS for Angel.
- 6054 to Riverside or Hexham as an extra bus.
- 6001 - 6007 and 6055 to Crook for Pronto.
