(15 Feb 2024, 10:51 am)RobinHood wrote Companies house can evidence that Durham County is significantly more profitable than Northumbria. However, Ashington get new buses more regularly, simply because of the mileage, not necessarily their financial performance.
So the new buses were ordered because of higher mileage, which in some cases is higher now than when they were ordered given the extra X14s and extra Belford X18s as two examples, and are now being replaced with near end of life 2009 registered Pulsars?
So it's a capacity decrease, significant decrease in vehicle age and quality, and likely a decrease in reliability too.
There's no benefit to anyone here (Stockton and Darlington are losing out too) bar the problem depot, who will somehow still manage to break these year old buses and the X93 passengers will still be rammed onto a Temsa.
