So you want to give a depot with highly demanding routes that are allocated deckers two older deckers to cover two set boards, rather than as Arriva are planning to do and give Redcar vehicles of similar age to what they already have allowing them to mix the fleet up (for example - allow them to have 7596 on the school 63 board one day then on an X94 the following day with one of the others doing the 63 instead). I'm sure the only people that would be happy with Redcar having 2 older E400s would be Alpha's accountants with all the towing fees for them......
