In turn, they can justify new double decker vehicles.
Makes you wonder what their pricing structure is like.
Mind, this is just pure speculation like and I could be totally wrong...
B&H have approx. 35 new Streetdecks arriving. Predominantly for the 7 and 49, with some extras for the 12. The ones for the 7 and 49 will be replacing 2011/12 B9TLs, which will be up for cascade elsewhere in the fleet.
If Go Ahead as a parent company can shift a few assets from one opco to another, to replace older assets that are currently being sweated beyond their economical life (e.g. 2000/01 Presidents), then I would say that is good business sense. It is not too dissimilar from Stagecoach seem to operate?
