Arriva Purchased by I Squared

RE: Arriva Purchased by I Squared
(14 Nov 2023, 8:30 pm)RobinHood wrote Arriva finance policy now dictates 18 years of life for any vehicles (depreciated over 15 years), so only buses that have hit that 18 years of age will be potentially replaced.

Not a popular decision internally to be honest! This may change now that iSquared will be calling the shots.

From what I've been told though, subject to major short term plan changes, the commercial and engineering team have been tasked with reviewing current DD allocations Vs where there are actually needed, which may see some permanent DD movements to places like Redcar or Darlington for example.

However, I am reliably informed that 7609/7610 will be running on Whitby P&R next year to put that rumour to bed. Also, a belief that all of the B7s currently in service in ANE are already planned to be replaced with new at some point in 2024 (subject to manufacturing lead in times).

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but older step entrance busses would usually last more than 20 years, with the caveat that they were far more robust and of heavier construction compared to a modern low floor bus. Having said that, if they give thier fleet some TLC inside and out, I'm sure many members the fleet could reach that age without issues.

If what you have heard is true, then hopefully it is a sign of better things to come, at least with getting routes allocated the right sort of busses, with more new vehicles in the pipeline.
