Stagecoach North East: Order Predictions
(22 Aug 2022, 7:18 pm)toward6931 no i wasn't suggesting to convert these vehicles yet, what I was suggesting was that if it is worth putting decker's on those services, bearing in mind how unpredictable the weather has been and the age of the open toppers, could it be worth if the Cumbria decker's aren't knackered acquiring them to use as spare vehicles so that if the open toppers do have a serious break down there is a vehicle of similar capacity to cover it.I feel like I'm missing something - if one breaks down what's wrong with an E400? Why must it be another ALX? The Eco routes run along the coast - why wouldn't you run open toppers on it in summer, even if existing pax numbers didn't justify it? It's an easy (and probably cheap) way of going "ooh look at our routes" while maybe increasing passenger numbers a bit.
