  SBS6256R (HG TRG) today training along Sv 358 & Sv 359's entire route (both West & East loops). 2nd TRG Citaro i've spotted along both services' routes this week, there was 6085S also training on both services' West & East loops this past Monday.

  For Sv 359 can understand cause at least there's 6305H, but Sv 358? Hmm. Don't think it has anything to do with training BCs for Citaro cameos cause there's an abundance of SP KUBs to deploy..might hint at things to come in the near future for Sv 358.

  I think it might be just for route familiarisation.

  I've to point out that with the abundance of TRG KUBs, and both services (358 & 359) are majority KUBs, don't you think it makes more sense if they trained the BCs using the KUBs instead if they're solely doing your so-called 'route familiarisation'? 

  And i've to point also that before 359 got 6305H, in the weeks before, there were a number of TRG Citaros doing both the Sv 359's east & west loops. I'm not implying that 358 will get Citaros, but logically speaking, it would make more sense for them to train BCs for both svcs using KUBs instead.

  Uh yes 8265B was in PSR today as well. Forgot which route it was doing but it came into PSR Int for a loop then went off again.

  If 358 does get, you can expect the kind of frequency of 291/293. 4mins minimum whole day is entirely foreseeable if they do get a BSEP fleet add, no kid.

  Just dreamt of SBS6322H going to AMDEP to do 70.

  Any chance 70 would get Citaros as part of BSEP? :x

  I don't quite get it why HG took in 2nd-hand Citaros instead from AR, when they could have gotten brand new Citaros or even Wrights later on. It's not like HG has a severe lack of SPs now..or perhaps they want to free up more Mk4s on alr-WAB svcs in case more Striders are going off as well?

  They only have 2 SPs, SBS6176M and SBS6248P as citaro replacements.
  
  And, SBS6149S is transferred to HGDEP too.
