My guess is franchising they don’t want to send the buses somewhere else again so we’re just stuck with the crap. 73175/176 could have still been at Stockton if Slatyford and Sunderland had received some decent buses from around the country
Carlisle and most of the nearby depots are in a shambolic position for vehicles - regularly missing service by double figure - they desperately need the assistance first!
