Anyway, just to point out from my earlier posts, there's 5 BNDEP
Mk4 SPs (914P 1896B 1930K 2601D 2833B) now, possibly for 5 outgoing
Mk3s with perm services (856Z 857X 858T 874X 879H) since none of
the services affected (197, CT18, 358, 359) have a timetable change
anytime soon from what I checked. Unless there's intake of Mk4s
from AMDEP, which I don't see any just yet, those 5 are probably
gonna be put in somewhere.
This excludes 852J (parked in BNDEP, replaced by 889D as
'SBS2615P' had pointed out), 876R & 881A (both long kicked out
to SP).
And 1930K has been more often than not on 197 despite being
shown as SP, seldom see it on other services too. Can guess where
the rest will end up. I have a feeling that this time they are not
putting in the Mk4s according to their usual practice of by rego
sequence.
why there is a relation between timetable change and swopping of
buses? Even if they deploy KUB/Citaros on these services to replace
the MK3, there isnt any need for revision of timetable at all..
