So, I'll be starting training with GNE at Riverside soon enough. What kind of (presumably old) vehicles will I have the pleasure of driving?
(15 Jul 2017, 11:14 pm)Andreos1 The question was about why the vehicles are now suited to NE ops as opposed to Brighton.
If they're good enough for the North East, then surely they're good enough for Brighton?
Whilst I get why assets are shifted about (at a cost), the regular acquiring of second hand deckers (which has gone on for years and shows no sign of abating) indicates to me that something is up with operations here in the North East and it isn't just roadwork's or the economy (as is the excuses provided to shareholders).
I appreciate passengers can't just appear with a click of a finger, but why aren't numbers growing? Why aren't we seeing 35x new Streetdecks appearing? Why do we see a constant supply of second hand vehicles? Whilst a sister company is displacing 6 year old vehicles on to secondary routes.
