(28 Sep 2022, 12:48 pm)Storx Aye no arguments there mind to be fair but they badly need to invest otherwise things are going to go out of control. I've just worked it out there and if they don't make any investment before the end of the 2024 there's going to be 140 buses life expired (on paper) using 15 years (so anything older than 59 Plate). That's some serious catching up.exactly, I think if they ordered 30 Midi MMCs over 2 years to oust MANviros , 60 long MMCs over 3 years, using 10 of the first batch to increase capacity over various depots, removing maybe 2 or 3 E200s each at slatyford and Sunderland and 4 at hartlepool to see of more of the MANviros
I wouldn't be surprised if there's not a serious investment up here soon enough. Similar to back in 2007, 2008 and 2009 when we got all sorts of Enviro's. Stagecoach are quite similar to Arriva where they seem to get everything at once with tit bits in between and the times coming back round for the big investments. I know we got some stuff but there wasn't too much around 2005/6 either really.
