That makes sense, but if the 97 can get new buses in like 4 years but the 60 which gets packed, and I know the 97 gets busy but the 60 which hasn't had new vehicles in 10 years can't get a repaint or get their seat re-done. 

Like even just a trial in Sunderland would be nice, whether that's a Euro 6 bus or an electric bus which is not very likely, I know Deptford doesn't have any charger facilities but neither did Chester they still trialled an electric decker although if Depford ever gets an electric bus it's more likely to be trialled on the 56.

But it would be nice for them to trial a GB Hawk (Euro 6) or GB Kite whether that's the Hydrogen or the Electric one also trial or the Volvo 7900.
