GNE Questions about fleet withdrawals/buses VOR/fleet questions
(15 Feb 2023, 8:13 pm)Tiger5105 A few of Consetts VOR buses. 5407 has been sat at the side of the Hownsgill workshops since beginning of Dec. 5461 has been parked here since Nov with missing panel and 5400 has returned from Saltmeadows with newly fitted glass but missing a panel and headlight surrounds.Does anyone know why these are like this? And why they have been like this for so long?

It could still be artics, just that articulated buses are nortoiously heavy drinkers of fuel with MPG being in single figures hence why they were replaced.

Could the venture brand be going? As there are plenty of Purples Solos free now (3) which I think is the full PVR of Venture network, plus you've got some Pinks free too & a blonde.
However I would keep 2x Purples & Blonde (painted into corporate) at Deptford, 2x Pinks at Washington, there should be 3/4 spare to go onto the V1/V2/V5.
Tbf half the time V1/V2 have deckers.

The East Yorkshire livered B9 decker at Consett was on the V1 as well

(02 Mar 2023, 10:55 pm)Unber43 in fairness the 78 can't be a decker, but that doesn't stop them taking a 66' plate off the 6, and putting on the 78, then the 6 gets the decker and V1 can get the solo.78 has had a decker a few times
But i guess thats too much work, so people can enjoy being rammed into a solo
