(28 Sep 2015, 6:08 pm)B10man What he's been told actually makes a lot of sence, if gne can avoild by new buses then they will due to the uncertain nature of the quality contract scheme. Why would gne buy new buses just for quality contacts to come in, doesn't make sence? Only reason the MPD at Peterlee got replaced was because there was no alternative. Maybe Gne have secured another few omnideckers for x21. If the quality contract scheme doesn't go ahead then gne will invest a lot of money all at once into new buses as there are so many buses they need rid off, red deckers, olympians, B10s (sadly), scania's, and the mercs badly need something done with them. Far to unrelieable.
What is wrong with the Merc Citaro's? I always thought that the Citaro's were good buses! Am i wrong or have i missed something?
I thought it was a shame that GNE have not purchased more New Mercs rather than the Streetlites, apart from the obvious big difference in Price!
