Even known I don't disagree, I'm not sure Sunderland will be open on taking the Hybrid's on. I could imagine there'll be a massive backlash losing the gas buses (which as far as I'm aware are generally liked by the driver's) and getting the Hybrids which well less said about them. I have a feeling they'll get the 60 plates or whatever instead personally, with the hybrids limping on at Walkergate until they go to scrap.
Rather not have the Hybrids tbh, rather keep the gas buses.
Its been over a month now since the changes and I can give a little review and say, the changes have made the services worse for reliability, always late but on a good side of things, the buses are busy - so older deckers might not be a bad temp replacement for them...
or... the 60 reg deckers could just replace the Hybrids at Newcastle?
