PVR goes from 15 to 16. They've got lucky with 19443 this year, up there in the top deckers at Walkergate.

Maybe they don't present themselves as good as they could, but they are pretty okay and what's the most important - they are reliable. I don't see any reason for purchasing new vehicles - it would be a waste of money.

I wouldn't expect Hartlepool to be purchasing any new buses, more likely to receive saloon cascades from Shields or Sunderland when further investment is seen there.
