It seems a shame that Blyth depot has had no investment in new buses for just shy of 10 years. These were the 13 plate Volvo hybrid deckers for the 308, which after 5 years disappeared.

It's literally a case of make do with what you've got, which is a mix of high mileage Geminis and Pulsars ranging in age of between 10 - 13 year old.
