Rather than upgrading the 20 and passing them about onto any service that fits in with the PVR that is operated from Deptford depot, surely in the contract it would specify which service the council was paying to improve the emissions rather than just 8 buses within the Sunderland area?
£600,000 was given to GNE to assist in improving air quality across the 3 LA's.

No idea (or can't remember) what specific terms were attached around route corridors.
I hinted on more than one occasion that there 'may' be t&c's which restricted future cascading and can remember eezypeazy in particular being quite vocal and putting his/her unique spin on things on one occasion.
The long term impact of the t&c's, is the downgrading of the 35.
Longer term? Who knows...
We have one member seemingly keen on the new allocation and now another, quite vocally against it.
Keen to see eezypeazy's spin though!
