It wouldn't have the cost to benefit ratio (which I assume is looked at) when bidding for the electric bids I'd assume why. 

Why the Q3 buses weren't put on the 58 in the first place is another question though. They might've been able to keep their much higher frequency compared to now. 

The Q3 is an awful route for them. In fact it'd just a pointless route completely now North of Newcastle and the far Eastern side isn't much better since it shadows the 12.
