GNE are investing, Arriva too albeit with funding from the Government and NECA but Stagecoach are very quiet. There’s definitely something going on because I emailed the Mayor Kim McGuinness and got a response that any investment should be made by Stagecoach it’s not the NECA that are investing fully in the buses.
Aye it's a strange one, ngl I have a feeling it might be down to Stockport in a way more than anything else.
I don't know but I have a feeling that some of 10423-30/43-51, 10587-99 should have been up here replacing the E400's.
Obviously their stuck down there now though due to the depot farce. They did try their best to get some of them up with the hybrid swap but obviously only so far you can go.
Fleet wouldn't have been too bad if they were really.
