Yes, they are having the route although it's not been announced as yet from when, I am aware that some drivers are out learning it this week in preparation.

Yes but from what I've been told apparently no one in the traffic office at Chaserider seems to know when that is...

Well, everyone will start catching a combination of the 29 & 32 round that area probably, if they dont already do so, bearing in mind until the last few years, Nx was off the route.

I very very much doubt it NOT when there will be Euro 6 vehicles being used on the route

How reliable has the 35 / 36 been with Euro 6 vehicles then?

Truthfully not very those Centrebus Volvo Evolutions haven't been the most reliable of things since there arrival one of them I think it's 631 when it's parked up smokes a bit not massively though I know that drivers are defecting that issue but it is not being rectified I'm not 100% but I'm sure that a smoking vehicle is a PG9 (please someone do correct me if this is wrong)

Its probably AD-Blue issues and tbh them big volvos aint really ideal for that county lane route at all. We had volvo b8 euro6 plaxton coaches where i used to work and they had loads of AD blue issues smoke issues, pain in the bum. They Seemed better on a long run that pottering about stop start on local school and swim runs though.
