(11 Oct 2015, 6:34 pm)Dan Younger vehicles have a higher book value than older vehicles. If the "Fab Fifty Seven" branded Volvo B10BLEs still have quite a high book value, they will need to remain in the fleet beyond this year, and they will also have the cost of the DDA modifications to cover too.
I believe there's a substantial difference between those Scania OmniDekkas new in 2003 and those new in 2004, which perhaps explains why the latter examples are also being re-trimmed, as they'll have to spend longer in the fleet to depreciate the entire book value.
I wonder if they'll get done then to remain in the fleet so they can be sold on later then.

Sorry Dan, what was that response... i'm sure you said the other day, people shouldn't think they know more than others....
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - B10man - 11 Oct 2015
I meant there is more to selling a bus than simply how old it is.

What's rattled your cage, haha? I'm not sure when I said that, mind..! Regardless of who said it originally, I think you're pulling the wrong person for being guilty of that?
I was wanting to know how it was more complicated, when buses aren't typically disposed of (unless they're being sold on within the group) if they haven't fully depreciated and the vehicle still has quite a large book value... Basic accountancy!

There would have been a logic to making the 12/12A Blaydon Racers as it shares the routes around Blaydon / Winlaton with the 49/49A, using the five "spare" Citaros now believed to be going to the 57; the Omnicities for the 12 going to the 57 instead. There is no common factor between the 12/12A and the X30/31 to be in the same brand.

Other than the fact that they both link other places with the 'toon'?
The Fast Cats services don't have a common factor between them (apart from both going to Sunderland) and nothing has ever been said about it.

X36 became Fast Cats to interwork with X35.

Which it no longer does.

I think the brand suits both routes although i think the X35 deserves better buses now, which will make the brand have 2 sets of buses... which we know GNE are not keen on... i'm not sure how well the X36 does since it changed.

(09 Oct 2015, 7:43 pm)Sidthebusbabe The current standalone 47 timetable advertises the service as running every 15 minutes!
(10 Oct 2015, 9:02 am)NK53 TKT Ha, can you tell me a timetable that has the CORRECT info on it
Could you advise me of any others with typos - other than the ones recently picked up on?

The X35 should be upgraded to cascaded citarios and maybe a revised brand with Wifi etc... to compete against Arriva service 23, the X36 should turn iinto a X56 and come out of the fast cats brand, and some members think that the fast cats brand and the old black cats brand which was for service 26/36 has to do with SAFC, in which these 2 brands have no association with SAFC.

Welcome aboard the next rumour...
7 Wright Streetdecks have been ordered for the X21.
Just thought i'd make the word rumour bold so i didn't get ridiculed for making it up.
