Short answer probably not. More practical answer, why not try and keep some of the fleet we have on the road! We read quite regularly through these pages of the problems being faced by the depots which, to me, seems indicative that not enough is been spent in terms of parts and maintainance.

On the theme of new vehicles, replacement of the Scania's, 46xx must be overdue/imminent? These have seen sterling and demanding service across the network; 63's out of Dormanstown, then on the X93's before ending up where they are now,; the X66/67 services could, for sure, use something better.
