23 New Buses

[Ash]

How many scania do cov atm?

I think its 15 danny

They have 15 omnilinks at the moment 1863-1877.

I cant cornfirm what depots at this time but Scanias are on the move around, I will try for some more info today.

I was just thinking last week, that the Coventry Scania's could go to West Bromwich for the 83/89 and a few other West Brom services also, and then give Coventry 15 extra new buses to replace them in this years order.

Or to perry Barr to displace all of their enviros to Pensnett

They could even go to Walsall to replace the remaining liberators and ensure the 311/313 is fully omnilink operated and may be upgrade the 29/302 to omnilink operation then Walsall would have 1848-1904 then.

Or YW to allow the withdrawal of the last 9 B10L there

9 to YW, 6 to WB

9 to YW, 6 to WB

You wouldn't send an odd 6 to a garage that didn't already operate any. The whole point of moving them from Coventry will be to reduce the number of garages stocking spare parts.

Perry Barr is another candidate

True, I thought 6 would cover the 83 and 89 but now I'm not so sure, and then theres type training, narrows it down abit

It would be good to send the lot to WB as they do need newer buses.

WB needs to receive a decent size batch of brand new vehicles, not newer cascades

I think they would be happy with whatever newish buses they can get their hands on

I'd have thought PB, WA & YW would all be good candidates to receive additional Omnilinks should they become available, which in turn will allow the last of the B10L's to be withdrawn.

There's not point moving Omnilinks to a garage that doesn't currently operate they type unless they could allocate a sizeable batch

6 wouldn't be enough to cover the 83/89.
