They could've transferred 15 Tridents from CV to YW, allowing them to transfer Scanias to PB?

YW doesn't want to loose it's Omnilinks from the 6

YW does not need any more old buses - in particular not Tridents! I'd welcome any bus to YW apart from any more Tridents. I'm hoping at some point some more Scanias will make the transfer over when the sad day comes when B10Ls are withdrawn at YW.

I can see some AG or the ex LH Scanias going to YW eventually, replacing the B10s. Either that or some more Tridents.

Changed predictions:-

Here's a controversial idea ..........

E400s to WB to replace all Mercs and cascade 19 B7TL to AG to replace Presidents 10 and 9 Scanias to YW to replace B10Ls
E400s to BC (10 for the 24 @Liverpool Street!!) and cascade 9Tridents (old) to WN to replace Mercs (fabulous if they were ones which were at PL when new!!) 2 via Walsall and 1 to Walsall
E400s to Coventry to replace 13Mercs

26 - E200s to WL to replace B6 and B10 and PL to replace Mercs or B6

4 E400s to ?????? (I'd say Washwood Heath if this was BCT/WMPTE days - so say PB!!

The level of bus fantasy and excitement is so high when new deliveries are happening - it's been the same since the BCT GON Fleetlines for me! But in the age of the internet information is much quicker - it'd take weeks/months after deliveries had been completed and buses withdrawn/transferred to figure out what had happenedI would also expect the remaining Presidents at AG and early Tridents at BC to be reallocated to reduce the numbers at these depots and thus allow a more orderly and even replacement programme - thus a final allocation of 20 at each depot (including Dundee) would deal with this.

What about WA to replace the B6 & B10?

Part of the 26 E200s suggested, mentioned above.

Not sure if any of the other enthusiasts of advancing years have noticed this but 33 E400s to WB for the Soho Rd is very reminiscent of 32 Fleetlines in 1971 for the one person operation conversion (4099-4108 and 4136-4157) - but they were supplemented by 32 others (17 at Hockley and 15 at Wolverhampton (4082-4098 and 4036-4050). And the previous batch was 4051-4081 for Harborne services so further similarities!!

Don,

There can't be any more than 29 x E200's LWB due in total:

100 x New buses delivered during 2014

10 x E400's to BC
33 x E400's to WB
13 x E400's to CV
10 x E200 SWB to WB
4 x E200's SWB to PB
Circa 10 x E200's LWB to WB
Circa 14 x E200's LWB to WN
That leaves approx 6 new buses unaccounted for

Winston,

I was presuming a round number of E400s as in previous deliveries and WB having no more buses for now (43 being the total - Tony has said previous quoted numbers for WB were wrong). But we'll have to wait and see. Your total for WN seems high bearing in mind Trident cascades have already started (presumably to replace Mercs).

 Coventry? do you have any idea which vehicles they are likely to replace by any chance.. :-\

Tony has already posted further up this thread that 4983-4995 will replace Mercs at NXC

[windy miller]

Annoyingly, there's no ST14 LST :(  (Roughly 14th Saint Liverpool Street... In my mind)

I have typed ST for the Coventry ones, they should be SL same as the Glasgow ones. I will correct the main site in about an hour

Thanks Tony - I initially thought it was not erroneous on your part.
