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?

Ashley

Yes Nathan all Royale Centros for repaint. Shame they probably won't retrim the seats. Mind you it will be the first time the rear ends will have been washed for a long while i reckon

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.
