the new buses (44 new E400s) enroute Do you have any idea where these are destined? I've heard they will replace the StreetDeck's on the 12 but the source is not very credible at all.

Yep I agree here. Seems a bit pointless & is unnecessary cost. It does look like Arriva. "Unnecessary cost" - the new buses (44 new E400s) enroute need painting in some colour scheme. It is only gonna be rolled out to new vehicles or vehicles requiring a replacement paint job anyway. Dosen't seem particularly pointless? I like the aqua & teal colours used, and I was a fan of red & cream but certainly it is showing its age now after 40 years. Just a shame to lose what stands out for that branch of Go Ahead.

Do you by any chance know what will happen to the StreetDecks or even the reason that 27s StreetDeck’s are now at Newhaven?

Hopefully, deposited far away from Brighton as possible - can't believe Go-Ahead actually chose those under powered buses for a city full of steep hills. The Enviro 400's are an upgrade

( I hear a rumour that South Coast are due to transfer some E200MMC displaced from the M1).

The GSC Enviro 200s will be a short term loan to GNW pending delivery of its own vehicles. They will then return home and allow withdrawal of some of the older single deckers in the GSC fleet.

I believe the majority of the displaced Streetdecks will be used on the 25 I read somewhere else that Streetdecks are likely to be going onto the 25 which seems logical, also avoids hills. Presumably the remaining Scanias and some of the Gemini will be replaced? There seems to be a lot of negative comments about the new livery, personally I think the red and cream livery is fine as is the green coaster livery.

Ironically, this means that B&H will have a livery more similar to the former Brighton Buses blue livery. I wonder whether this livery will them be rolled out on Metrobus vehicles too.

- I'm guessing this is BSIP money.
