I wonder what vehicles they will use for this and the 15/16 routes.
Good luck to them, however it's a shame that Spirit couldn't make it work.
Apart from the obvious that Spirit used a very modern newish bus, of which probably cost lots of money to buy or lease, whereas PCL Travel buses tend to be older vehicles, I wonder how PCL will make ends meet. It will interesting to see/understand the difference in the operating costs. Also PCL have the added lost mileage travelling up from their depot near Ryton. Unless of course they intend to keep a vehicle up in the Rothbury area.
