I can guarantee that more money has gone on towing 4907 back to Deptford depot since the service's establishment than all of the "Pronto" vehicles altogether!
The reason why ex-London vehicles are unlikely to come to the fleet in future is simply down to the fact it's a totally different lifestyle for the vehicles up here, than it is down there.
They are suitable in the sense that they meet loading requirements. Leaving passengers behind wouldn't be great at all, would it?
I have to agree with you Dan the "Wear Tees Xpress" buses are rubbish, Glad they getting upgraded, hopefully this means more passengers and longer runs (after 6pm).
