Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2015

(19 Jul 2015, 9:35 pm)thetravelman wrote How many Buses both Single and Double Decker, do GNE have to either upgrade or dispose of prior to the forthcoming changes to DDA regulations?

Also which buses are these to be?

I presume that the buses that GNE need to dispose of will not be worth very much money or be any good for other operators to buy, as they won't be compliant and I presume the cost to make them compliant will out way the value of the bus, I'm guessing a lot will just go to the scrap yard?

I presume that a lot of smaller independent operators who do operate service routes, will be hit hard with the new regs, maybe forcing some to stop operating service routes altogether?

Non DDA - 

Volvo Olympian
Dennis Trident
B10's - although i think the duel doors ones are already DDA?

All but the Olympians can be modded to make them DDA. 


I would imagine, if modded GNE will sell them on, if not they'll go for scrap.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
