Yeah that's true, truthfully probably better to sell the things unless Ashington can get them working. Just a nuisance microfleet really in terms of parts etc considering there's not going to be a single Volvo Decker in the whole Arriva fleet soon since the hybrids seem to be on borrowed time aswell. Assume they'll be gone by the end of the year when Arriva lose the Wirral routes. 

and if they're not working anyway, then what's the point in keeping them. I'm sure they'll have a resale value atm.
