As a lot of people seem to think GNEs fleet replacement is massive compared to SNEs the figure's actually show something else.
Over the last 10 years the new vehicles entering the fleet are.
Go North East 357
Stagecoach North East 355
So SNE has a much higher percentage of fleet renewal over the last 10 years than GNE dose.
Anybody fancy doing Arriva????
In the past ten years (vehicle new in 2003-2013), Arriva have 338 vehicles - providing NEB's fleet lists are correct, that is.
Will those figures be as close by the end of 2015 though, do you think? You've got 160+ vehicles from GNE - will ANE/SNE match that? I'll be impressed if so, and very surprised.
