First Bus - Leicester

[willr7]

I hope not. We were told ages ago they'd be B9s from Leeds.

I know the Gemini's are expected at Worcester once you receive any replacements for them. I think I remember hearing about the B9s now.

Recent updates suggest that Worcester is also expecting 2 StreetDecks in addition to the Gemini's, so B9s could still be on the cards for Leicester and the two StreetDecks at Leicester could be intended for Worcester.

However, It seems to me like an odd pair to transfer (with 35131 being in the middle of the Steellink batch...)

So I've asked around and apparently 35117 and 35131 are transfers.

However, they are apparently staying in Leicester.

I'm guessing either to replace 35174 or go in a livery for the 38/38A. That could do with double-deckers again.

Interesting, Thanks for finding that out. :)

Santa bus! The timetables for 63365 have been confirmed.
Interesting allocations, not seen such a varied route list for Monday's - Saturdays before.

@47609FireFly Is 63068 actually here, or is it just 35169 in disguise?

Both 63068 and 63069 are now in service in Leicester.

And according to the recent updates, 69249 and 69380 should be at the depot as well.

Just because they've transferred 'on paper' doesn't necessarily mean they will be 'at the depot' yet.

StreetDecks 35124 and 35130 arrived at Abbey Lane yesterday (17/12/2019).

StreetDeck 35119 arrived at Abbey Lane today (18/12/2019).

Such a shame, Leicester's fleet used to be interesting.
