RE: Arriva North East: Latest News and Discussion - April 2016
I may have been a little critical with my comments regarding Arriva and it's X93. Ineed Kuyoko does have a poiint in that it is difficult to justify bringing in additional new BTL9's for just the summer period when revenue is, to a certain degree, dependant on the weather; a simple calculation of the earning potential for the route would demonstrate that it isn't exactlly a high earner and thus justification has to made in terms of what vehicles can be acquired and used. On the flip side, as Cock Robin says, any new vehicles purchased could be transferred in and out of the X93 route as is prevelant with the use of the likes of the 748x series BTL7's. It is a difficult call. Hopefully they are going to get 1808 back of VOR to continue the trials.
