I,m thinking refurbed 4700 gems could go on the 451 service being euro 3 no problem, if plackys are to be moved on, from a drivers point of view this would be a down grade, presidents wipe the floor with 4700s gems.

Would be a downgrade for passengers too, Presidents are awesome buses, and so comfy as well
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

4500s all but gone now from West Bromwich, the grand plan of vehicle simplification of most garages I.e less vehicle types one or two types of single or double decker seems to be playing out.
If you look at what's left West Bromwich its not hard to work out the rest.
I won't spoil it for every one, reading some of the ideas poeple post all part of the fun.

Can't speak highly enough of the Presidents. I can see 47**s going on the 5 eventually

@2900 do the 47**s have kickdown/the click at the bottom of accelerator pedal? Had a 45** recently and found they don't have it when the 46**s do. Was surprised at that!
