Does anyone know why these are like this? And why they have been like this for so long?

Could the 58 still be artics today? Or was the route changed to where they could no longer be?

It could still be artics, just that articulated buses are nortoiously heavy drinkers of fuel with MPG being in single figures hence why they were replaced.

Long time VOR 6337 has been moved from the maintenance bays to the rear of the depot, normally where the VOR buses are stored outdoors.

Could the venture brand be going? As there are plenty of Purples Solos free now (3) which I think is the full PVR of Venture network, plus you've got some Pinks free too & a blonde.

However I would keep 2x Purples & Blonde (painted into corporate) at Deptford, 2x Pinks at Washington, there should be 3/4 spare to go onto the V1/V2/V5.

Tbf half the time V1/V2 have deckers.

Ventures seem to be appearing almost daily on 78s these days. The East Yorkshire livered B9 decker at Consett was on the V1 as well

in fairness the 78 can't be a decker, but that doesn't stop them taking a 66' plate off the 6, and putting on the 78, then the 6 gets the decker and V1 can get the solo.

But i guess thats too much work, so people can enjoy being rammed into a solo

What buses are going to Percy Main for the 1's extension? Are they getting the Ex-Quacity Versas? Or Are they getting some more Streetlites?
