Pretty sure someone mentioned that Stagecoach's goal might still be to turn sunderland all gas using Scania Fencer range
Don't they use the gas buses? ngl I don't think they need anymore full length buses.
It's midibuses which are the problem. Arriva get slagged off all the time but they really do have some crap in service the ALX400's and Darts in particular especially for a division that makes an absolute fortune pre covid (believe it was £10m or so a year). Even Arriva has finally withdrawn it's final Dart which says something.
The 2007/2008 Enviro 400's should really be going into a reserve role aswell really, not frontline service on routes like the 1 and 38.
Haven't heard that though, wasn't their rumours they were planning to get arid of gas buses as they were too expensive (might be have just been Darlington though).
