If you see my picture on flickr https://flic.kr/p/HYseA7 this particular bus has been floating around Lobley Hill and everywhere imbetween there and Percy Main.

I do like the drivers cab though!
What sort of life span will GNE be expecting to get from these Omnidekkas, considering that they are already around 12 to 13 years old.

For example the buses now coming up from Brighton & Hove, who brings them, do GNE send down drivers or do B&H drivers bring them up?
