Maybe they think it'll sell for more? Or maybe they think it will be on the road for another 5 years.. Or maybe they're just incompetent..! Maybe all three!

1563 was on the X4 today with a broken ticket machine - thanks Arriva for the free trip from Redcar to Saltburn! A pretty full bus too, and still all that way to go to Whitby - someone's not gonna be happy!
