The X39 B7s are used in part alongside Streetdecks, Scanias and E400MMCs to cover the Hybrid E400s on the P&R services. As far as I am aware, there is only 1 of the Hybrid E400s fit for service. I believe the Hybrids will be converted to pure diesel in the not too distant future.You would really hope that the purple B7TLs would be pensioned off (good servants as they have been) - had 32014 on the U2 a few months ago and it was not a particularly nice experience! Perhaps get 32283/4/5/91 drafted in and so eradicate DD Barbie colours though with the need to get the P&R deckers done (36807 and 35116 deputising on Friday pm) and the X39 deckers away, that sort of thing may have to wait.
BTW, apologies if I'm a little confused (it happens) but is the plan for deckers....
37757-67 to get re-engineered to Euro 6 for the X39
39133-41 to get re-powered from hybrid to Euro 6
37768-72 plus the B9TLs dislodged from the 903 P&R to go to Wells
Just a little confused as to what is going on at the moment - a mix of fleet on the X39 this morning with 37763 alongside 32280.
As for the W reg ALX 400s, they would be perfect to operate alongside there coupe classmates perminantley in Weston. 3 could be refurbished inside and painted in the Coaster livery and used to complete the PVR of the 20 during the summer And maintain the service of the 20 and the 1 during the winter. The PVR of the 20 being 2 with 2 branded for this and 1 branded the same as 32012 to be used on the 20 in the summer and on the 1 during the winter.
