(03 Jan 2017, 8:05 pm)Dan Only a handful of Riverside engineers are trained on using the Scania recovery truck.
Whether 1001 will attend to another depot's vehicle will depend on if Riverside have sufficient staff to release one of their engineers to attend to another depot's vehicle - that engineer would be away for a very long period of time, as they would have to drive the recovery truck to the place where the bus has broken down, return that bus to its home depot, and then return back to Riverside.
On Boxing Day; Riverside operated with skeleton engineering staff, so it definitely wouldn't have been practical for Riverside to attend to a Percy Main breakdown.
Surely it would be a lot more cost effective by training more people on the truck so it can attend any go north east break down
