Not just that but also electric buses cost a good deal more compared to diesel and that’s a good deal of money that go north east don’t have to spend. All the streetlites on the 60 really need is just a repaint and refurb, they seem to run fine, i get it at least twice everyday and have never had a problem with one.

But the issue is with them is you put brand new buses on a profitable route to displace other older buses on less profitable route 

e.g Replace the Connections 4 Citaros and then you can put them on the 35 which has quite old buses, which aren't as good as the buses they even did replace. 

Thats why certain route imo should get brand new buses roughly every 4-7 years, 21/X21/10/10A/10B/56/60/20 which can displace other buses in the fleet.
