Agreed. I was just wondering as now I would say the next major cascading process will begin with the new orders and service changers (if there are any) towards the back end of the year.

Also alot being withdrawn.

5207 is out in service today so won't be branded.

What depot with the exception of Crook and Peterlee is the graveyard depot now? I remember the days when Percy Main was a few year ago.

Hexham is where withdrawn vehicles are stored prior to disposal.

No, I don't mean in that sense. I mean what depot has the oldest average fleet age. I remember when Percy Main did when they were running 4769 - 4773 around.

I'd guess at Stanley what with all the Olympians and a fair few Renowns kicking about Lolyne/President & their newest vehicle is 2008. Compared to others (only Percy Main have Olympians also which are oldest vehicles in fleet alongside the 48xx series renowns) Deptford, Percy Main, Riverside all have new vehicles in 2013; Chester/Washington in 2012, Saltmeadows have 2010 Versas etc.

62 & 65 dont have wifi, they're the 06 plates so they shouldn't get the wifi stickers

I was thinking more along the lines of them having it applied anyway to just fit in with the brand overall.
