I don't think Nx will want to transfer and paint buses when there's other red and white garages to choose from

Some of them need repainting anyway as they have connection bars still, so they could use that opportunity to paint them blue instead without any unnecessary expenses surely?

Am I right in hearing that when YWs new buses arrive for the 50, 4738 - 62 will transfer to WB with some being branded for Dudley Rd routes?

If this is true I dont understand the logic in replacing 2006 buses from the Dudley Rd for 2007 buses instead.

Can anyone clarify?

Yes, that is correct. Partly I believe it may be due to insufficient numbers of 06 Plate Gemini to cover all the Dudley Rd boards, this move will rectify that. I suspect that the 06 plate Gemini may also be required elsewhere

Is the Outer Circle still being worked by Presidents? If so then I would have thought that would be a good place for the WB Geminis to end up.
They are but I think the WB Gemini's would be insufficient for the 11C/A.

18 from WB and possibly some PB ones? I wonder if that'd be enough.

I'm not sure on the numbers of Presidents at AG or the number of surplus vehicles PB will have with the E400s (need to update my fleet list!!) but I would have thought it'd be enough?
AG has 50 Presidents counting 4077 as withdrawn.

What about 4738 - 4762 YW - WB, 4291 4292 4300 - 4304 PB - WB, that replaces all WB Presidents and Mercs making WB fully SQBP compliant.

Because if you replace 25 Geminis with 25 Enviros, is there much point in WB keeping 7 Geminis. I know that would probably be an easier option to the above but where could you really move the 51 plate ALX's without having to throw in type training.

Might have my numbers wrong but its something I suppose
