How come percy main havent done any metro replacements this week? Surely easier and chepaer for them as they not driving miles and miles out of service.
How is the bus reversing screen trial going?
Many questions you have.
3859 is most likely to be heading for scrap considering it isn't DDA and not worth repairing.
Percy Main have a contract for the 327 (DFDS service) which may require an increased number of buses (and drivers) at short notice from their depot, therefore it would be no good if most of their buses were out on Metro Replacement, and this long standing contract with DFDS probably bring in a lot more money for GNE than what Metro Replacements does, additionally DFDS has in the past paid GNE to refurbish and paint their buses for the contract. Just got to wonder if in the future they will use 3962-3965 on it, unless 3866/3867 have been refurbished to DDA spec.
No idea on the last one, wasn't aware there was a trial.
