New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

From the City Centre it could cope with a B7RLE from what I've seen, at a half hour frequency and it doesn't pick up Washwood Heath Road passengers like the 70 used to.

The Chipperfield Road to City section is where it mainly fills up, but the Deckers are still not that full..

X70 buses from City for shift change at Hams Hall are near enough full on a decker. Single deckers would not cope at this time

Surely deckers on the X12 are sufficient for the Bromford Estate, how come they need the X70 as well?
When I've seen it I've sometimes seen the X12's and X70's following each other in convey along that section, when it's behind a X12 it doesn't pick anybody up.

I've seen them doing that a lot. It's nice seeing a Trident and a Gemini following each other in convoy!

13 single decks are leaving BC, so you don't need to speculate on which BC route might get thei

[BK63 YWP]

I thinking Walsall maybe?

[Jack]

I was thinking Walsall as well, make the 29 fully Eclipse 2, but I think 13 are way too many for WA. A split between WA and another depot?

I wander what will happen to the Single Decker B7RLE's at BC freed up by the 29 getting new Platinums and what'll be converted to Single Deckers? Presumably they'd go elsewhere and leave BC, I can't see any of BC's decker routes being converted to Single Deckers.

The first garage that springs to mind for receiving B7RLEs is WA

3 to PN and 10 to WA?

[Jack]

3 to PN and 10 to WA?

Why do WA need so much? They are used mainly on the 29 and a few on the 301/302, but some have appeared on the 7/A I've been told. It's been mentioned Walsall try and keep them off Bradford Place.

I presume 2078-2080 will return to PE.

[Wolves256]

Coventry to replace artics for at least 10

That's the first prediction incorrect.

No, just BN is on the email list to see the whole cascade plan, so he knows the whole plan, although it's already changed once with the movement of 4147 & 4180
