Take the ''Coast & Country'' for example, they made do with Wright Renowns (17 years old when their final days came) for over a decade, and the upgrade to brand new Wright Streetlites has been a massive improvement. Whereas, the ''Whey Aye Five 0'' has 56-plate Scania OmniCities, just shy of 10 years old, and, it pains me to say it, but, still in okay condition. I just don't think it's justified, I'm afraid.Aureolin...
Nope. The timetable has been reduced since then, so that would probably answer the question.
I can beat that. I had Leyland Olympian/NC Palatine 3806 (F106UEF) one evening, when Chester had absolutely nowt else to send! I was sharp brought back to reality, as DAFs became a regular occurrence on there shortly after that... Sad
You get a decent load on sections of the route, but it's certainly not a service you see standees on.
my comment...
I suppose yous are right, though I would say that in the next few years the 50 will need new buses, and if by then the passenger counts rise then double deckers will be needed for the 50
