(02 Jul 2018, 5:02 pm)tcts24 Totally agree! There aren't any particularly old buses here. Maybe they just seem older because they lack the technology Arriva and Go-Ahead treat us to. like USB's and NSA's The oldest buses we have are only 10 years of age... even if they do acount for nearly 2/3 of the fleet. Even if they did give us new buses, It would only be Enviro 200's and frankly, I'd rather keep the MAN's.

(03 Jul 2018, 8:25 am)Robert72 I agree. I would rather keep MAN buses as well. Maybe they don't present themselves as good as they could, but they are pretty okay and what's the most important - they are reliable. I don't see any reason for purchasing new vehicles - it would be a waste of money.

Had a bit of spare time yesterday afternoon so I had a trip out on one of Hartlepool depots apparently ancient buses. Decided to use service 3, both the quietest and hilliest route. It was 39669 that turned up. I must admit, the interior did look a little tired. But thats nothing a refurb wouldn't sort out. Shove in some wi-fi and a few USB sockets while they're at it and it's as good as new! 39669 seemed perfectly capable of weaving its way through Bishop Cuthbert and Clavering. Who needs new (or newer) buses? Should be at least another 5 years left in most of these things!
