(31 Jan 2016, 6:47 pm)Davie Why would Go North East pay to have the Renown's made DDA - Compliant only to withdraw them after a few months?

(31 Jan 2016, 6:49 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Don't know just a Suggestion
What buses would you replace?

(31 Jan 2016, 6:52 pm)Davie Cadet's and Merit's which I belive are getting withdrawn this year.

(31 Jan 2016, 7:02 pm)GX03 SVC Because otherwise they would be short of vehicles for months...if they were withdrawn before 1/1/2016

(31 Jan 2016, 7:07 pm)DanPicken Or they could of got the new buses in December.

(31 Jan 2016, 6:57 pm)Michael The Merits were only updated to Euro 5 last January so not sure they would be withdrawn.

I would say the Cadets and the duel door B10s.

(31 Jan 2016, 7:00 pm)Jimmi Because they'd have buses that weren't DDA compliant on the road now otherwise. Making them DDA will probably make it easier for them to be sold to operators for further service.

(31 Jan 2016, 7:11 pm)Michael Is it the Lolyne's which aren't DDA?

I can't remember if its them or the Plaxton ones... haha

(31 Jan 2016, 7:12 pm)Davie I think Merit's only have a 12 year life span (Please feel free to correct me).

But my point is, why pay for them to be DDA Compliant then withdraw them?

(31 Jan 2016, 7:12 pm)Davie I think Merit's only have a 12 year life span (Please feel free to correct me).

(31 Jan 2016, 7:13 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Olympians and lolynes aren't DDA

(31 Jan 2016, 7:14 pm)GX03 SVC Without PSVAR modifications they would be illegal to use in service!

(31 Jan 2016, 7:14 pm)GX03 SVC Without PSVAR modifications they would be illegal to use in service!

(31 Jan 2016, 7:15 pm)Michael I think they do but it seems daft to withdraw them a year after they were fitted with Euro 5 modifications.
