Obviously there's the extra distance to travel for the early starts such as West Auckland on the X21, and travel for driver changeovers, but the cost of those is probably nowhere near the amount it would cost to improve CLS depot.
To me, it seems like quite an easy decision to close it
When Dan said about routes may not go to the expected Depots, I do wonder what it means, this could be the reason the 71 is operated by Washington.
