(15 Nov 2016, 7:59 pm)South Tyne Lad Could be a possibility that the DDA Tridents will go before most of the B7 Presidents, As there a minority batch now the Lolynes are gone ( bar 3872 ) , Will eliminate one extra vehicle type from the fleet and will still be good value to sell to the likes of Ensign etc.
While the Volvo Presidents will not be favoured by buyers due to their age, Most can still see out atleast another year in service before being retired to Dudley for Alpha to deal with.
While I agree some are beaten, Some are still in pretty good fettle and Volvos are pretty good workhorses and definitely more robust than the Tridents.
The Volvos are already 17 years old, They were new in Late Summer 1999.
They might, ah are they, i just went by the dates on our fleet list.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
