Anyone know what's happening about the new deckers PB should be getting, it's odd that they've lost deckers to WA and had nothing in return, are they getting a share of the new E400s?

Yes i believe they are getting the rest of the current E400 order 4914 onwards for the sutton lines i believe or maybe the 16/94 will be upgraded?

It's been confirmed that the 94 is being upgraded

By the way only reason WA had 4733-7 and PB had nothing in return was because WA took on the 934 from PB when extended to Walsall

I know the 94 will be upgraded but wasn't it said the sutton lines will get new buses. Either way i know PB are having the rest of the E400's

Yes the 94 will be upgraded with the ex-sutton line enviros

I thought so. I already said a few weeks ago that the E400's delivered will go onto sutton lines with the Toothpaste E400's upgrading the 94 and maybe the 16.


Then ALX400 B7TL's or Wright Eclipse Gemini's could transfer to withdraw Older Mercs?

I imagine the remaining of PB's Gemini will transfer to withdraw early mercs and make routes like 83/89 permanently double deck
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
Local Routes: 21, 89, 48/A, 12/A, 54/A
Semi-local routes: 80, 87

I asked yesterday and nothing after the tridents to PE has been decided by the company yet, so no-one on here knows

Based on the Centro announcement, "before the end of the year" is all anyone knows at present.  ;)

Most likely not for a while yet, they're not that old, remember its probably the only repaint they'll ever get with NX.

So talk of replacing mercs, anyone know if any Gemini's would come over to Coventry to replace mercs?
