(19 Sep 2021, 3:41 pm)Andreos1 I'm surprised they haven't thought outside the box like GNE did and invested in some donor vehicles from elsewhere. Assuming the price works for them...
There's obviously an issue with parts somewhere and it's certainly not unique to one operator either.

In fairness it probably wouldn't make sense buying buses outside of Arriva to keep buses going which are finished. There's not going to be many older Omnicity's than 05 plates.

The GNE ones have had an easier life with some of them up here being on the X93 and more recently on the X15/X18/685/X66/X67 which aren't easy routes.

It would make sense to get proper replacements here to and send them down to the Midlands to keep the 58/09 plates going down there though mind.
