All 14 'Ten' Citaros will be going onto the 27. The X3 will remains B10BLE operated, those examples displaced from the 27 will likely be used to replace the remaining SPDs.

Just as I was thinking some of the Crusader B10BLEs are R-reg and older than S-reg Olympians allocated new (when numbered 527) in 1998, you say the remaining SPDs could be replaced. As these are smaller buses and I don't like their moquette, I actually approve of the SPDs being withdrawn and B10BLEs retained for now.

Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renowns do seemed to have aged better than most buses around the same age.Despite there age the ones ive been on still seem to have no problems with gaining speed or going up hill
