Going to the Hybrid discussion - I really am a fan of the Angel B5LHs (just not some of the places they serve) and I do rather like Arriva's examples too for the 308. However, it has to be said that when you've been on mostly hybrid/gas buses for several hours it really does develop a craving for a full diesel bus! Last time I had a run to Blyth and back on the X5 for no real reason apart from I wanted a large engine powering me along!
Ye they could get some Solo Sr's from another company.
All the 2011 solo Sr's are due repaint next year... could include the the 2012 ones to.... GNE might not even run the AD122 next year... lol
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
