AMDEP and BBDEP seem to take in new DDs one-for-one to replace
de-registered VO3Xs. HGDEP takes in new DDs in 'stints', while
BNDEP and SLBP take in new DDs aggressively. For SLBP's case I can
still understand (because it has tons of VO3Xs for
de-registration), but for BNDEP, what is even more strange is that
not a single one
of their SG53XX Wrights are deployed!
Your last line does not make sense. 5303G 5305B
have allocated perm svcs WEF this week yeah. Those are SG-plated.
Double-check before you post such sweeping statements please.
Because i clearly edited 5303G as CG 23 alr by 14
May (Sun), and you posted 18 May at night. That's 3 days for you to
check. And you even edited that same page on 17 May.
And somehow, i think with all your argument, you clearly forgot
that BNDEP has an abundance of SP buses de-registering soon too.
Same as SLBP yeah.
There's 2826Y, 9x VO3xs (9526S 9566B 9568X
9573E 9614X 9634M 9647B 9666X 9667T) going off (as in
de-registering soon).
And then, 3T 4R 8E 20T 3983U all going to Go-Ahead
as well. That's 15 buses from its SP fleet going to be wiped out in
the next few months.
And not to forget all the DD replacements needed for the remaining
VO3xs yet to be de-reg from Svcs 20 / 23 / 28 / 31 / 37 / 31 / 45 /
87 / 196 etc.
Use some simple calculations and you'll see why BNDEP is taking in
so much new buses lately. Your argument (or whatever observations
you had so far), are all based on what you're seeing now. Think
long-term please.
