i wonder if some will be done because to replace 40 odd buses of that age range is probably in the region of £150,000 each as a minimum is probably going to cost at least six million quid, i cant imagine refitting some tanks will cost that much.
Aye think they'd point them so they're not 90 degrees though. Could be lethal that if it's the wrong place, arguably worse than it blowing up.
Btw wonder if it might be a legal issue rather than technical. It seems like they've got a 10 year life on them by the date theyre going. I'm not sure I'd want to be the one who signs if off for them to last longer.
If something did go wrong then you've just signed yourself to a manslaughter by neglegence charge if it's worst scenario.
Obviously they'll no doubt be fine but it's a big if and it's a big mistake if it goes wrong. Obviously no doubt Arriva's will stay on for a bit as it's all about the £££.
