Just to share some news. It has been announced on a Yahoo group today
that Arriva have ordered Mercedes Citaro artics to convert the 38 from
October and Volvo / Alexander double deckers (as used on the 68 and 176)
to convert the 159 from November of this year. No specific dates as
yet.

It looks therefore as if the 159 will be the last RM route based on the
above but there is a long time between now and then. Get out and about
with your cameras as this is your last chance to get a "wintry" scene
with a working RM in it.

I wonder, do we know yet how many of them there will be? I'm thinking of the
38 in particular.

I'm assuming they'll take the opportunity to cut the frequency, as they did
with the 73.
