I did read space but they could move the mmc to ag  then the buses stored at park lane
move to yardley wood  unless when the tax has run out they will then withdraw some of the tridents then put the buss into service

Tony

Nice you know better than the people actually trying to get 75 new buses into service without knowing anything about what's needed

@Tony has already said, it is space at BC where they are being prepared for service that is the problem, no space at YW.

The Scarborough built batch (6952-67) are all at Coventry now with deliveries completed over the weekend

Apologies if this has been asked before, (I'm not the most frequent visitor to the WM forum), but what's going to happen when the fleet numbers get to 7000? they're not that far away now.

No decision yet as it isn't a problem until more than another 33 platinums are on their way

They carry on surely, as theres been Wmpte vehicles over 7000.

The Titans for starters.

You're forgetting the 18 54 plate Dundee Geminis (7001 - 7018) and the 14 former Dundee Omnilinks (7019 - 7033)

The Scanias can be moved to follow the existing examples starting at 1954. The Volvos I have no idea of....

But given it's been stated all subsequent deliveries will be Platinum, surely some sort of plan would be in place?
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

No
There are ideas, but which will be actioned has not been decided.

Several options include 3401 upwards; 6151 upwards; 7501 upwards or even something completely different

Just an idea, but how about tagging the Scanias onto the existing batch as has been suggested and reverting the Geminis back to their old 2 digit Tayside numbers by knocking off the 70--, they only have 2 or 3 years left in them anyway.

Renumbering is out of the question. The current system still leaves the old numbers as used with their history on

Onto plan b then, retire the Geminis and send us some more shiny new Emeralds :D :D
