It's more about what these buses are. The right answer is they should've purchased new buses to withdraw the ALX300's. They're beyond their useful life and shouldn't be in frontline service regardless. They can't keep pulling the Covid excuse for not investing. It's becoming a bit of a trend lately and it's not just buses. The point of the LEZ isn't to swap buses around and punish other areas it's to reduce emissions.
I could understand if it was some poor depot which doesn't make money but the North East made £11m before Covid and the Newcastle depots are the ones that make the £££'s.
