My argument doesnt involve the Red Kite omnicities - it does however involve the 4 corporate liveried omnis at Percy Main which will need to be repainted purple. Add the costs of all 9 repaints together and takeaway the average selling of a B10BLE to the scrapman - see how much profit is made or how much money is lost. I think it may cost more than we think and thats without me doing any research.
But at the same time, over 100 buses are being repainted, simply to remove the 'Northern' name from them? You need not patronise me about the cost of paint. It's a long time since I was wet behind the ears!
The company have shown time and time again, that if something needs doing, it'll be done properly.
