Are you talking about the ex Transdev B7RLE? I thought they would be good on the 50, as they offer something different to NXWM & TGB double deckers

If so, those that were for sale at Southdown PSV have already been sold, and it since looks as though Transdev will also buying & retaining a handful of them

Just so I can keep on top of things,

How many Royale Centro B7RLE's have been painted i into current fleet livery? I know 30822 has but I am sure there is another one

I actually think they seem pretty pricey versus the ex transdev eclipses. After all they are only lightweight optares and I don't reckon they can be very reliable as there must be a reason nct is selling them and buying enviros...

X31 sounds like a revision or similar route to x30

Thanks Winston :) I knew there were 2 repainted :) Is the plan to repaint all of the royals Centro's?

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
