What is up with route number 8? How will the money be spent?

10 of them 30871 to 80 mostly to replace 30802 etc and 31814 etc batch

Maybe they are replacements for Olympians.

They are direct repalcements for olympians and not citaro replacements, 30802/4/5/6 are due to be withdrawn in August, also 31814 and 6 are going as well. Of note 30803 is already withdrawn
