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..

There isn't any relation. I'm just trying to point out that BNDEP had the practice of putting in Mk4s to replace Mk3s one-for-one instead of dumping WABs in. Maybe my link wasn't that straightforward, sorry for that.

We do know that once they reply, their post counts will no longer be 5414 & 707 right?
Later they will claim that it's not them cause their post counts will differ from the time you posted to the time they replied here. LOL. -

Just click on the previous page and just a few posts down from the top you can find both of them. Great thing dude, those screenshots would come in handy soon, I thought of doing the same too but you did it first. -
