And the cascades begin????

I'm curious to see what happens at YW - if as expected the new Platinums are for the 6 service, that means that 21 single decks are likely to be surplus to requirement there.

YW has 18x E200 MMCs, and 15x Scania Omnilinks at present. Obviously a number of single-deck vehicles would need to be retained for the 27 service, and I'm not sure what the PVR is for this service.

I would presume that most of the Omnilinks would be kept for the 27, with the newer E200s being moved elsewhere. Where though is the mystery...

Just guessing but you wouldn't be expecting 19 x trapped 45xx Tridents and a few more B7RLEs to see off the rest of your 43xx?

I'm sure i read (or read between the lines on a previous comment made) that not all 43**'s are going anywhere for now.

There was a e200mmc at both PN and WB a couple of weeks ago maybe some there.

I think Wolverhampton garage should have newer or new buses

Wolverhampton whose oldest buses after the ever dwindling tridents are 61 plates, and have had new buses delivered every year between 2011 and 2016?  :o

Yeah it would make sense to throw the E200MMCs to the 55

WN have just had 16 (soon to be 17 when 4937 moves) fairly modern E400's.

What's wrong with the 55?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Investment in the east ummmmmm, well would sound right casts off I suppose. Wonder if 2020 will be the year they actually take notice of state of buses in the ex lea hall corridors.
