The minibus fleet is aging badly and will need replacing by 2022 and there's also the Omnicities, Citaros and early Versas all due or starting to be due by then. Realistically no deckers really need to be replaced before 2026 now which are in frontline work.
Minibus fleet? The Little Coasters Solos are not the best, and whatever Optare Solos there are elsewhere, but the SRs are fine. Sprinters 729/720 are new. Lots of SRs on Venture, Little Pinks, Little Coasters, Tynedale Links and not sure what else, they seem fine. Which ones do you think need replacing? Agree no deckers are really needed, but doubt the minibus fleet will be replaced next year.
