Chester has room (there WOULD be more if those National Express coaches weren't there) to fit them in when they come to Chester for maintenance. Also, any ideas if Weardale will receive any of the Palatine 2s when they finally get phased out of the GNE fleet?
They sign a contract on a yearly basis I understand, I'm sure Weardale are happy to keep them there it's mainly the GNE end I'd be bothered about.
Not sure whether the DCC contracts have an age limit (don't think they do) but those Leyland Olympians won't go on forever so the Volvo's would be a decent buy, after all they're well looked after and Weardale bought some of the previous batch.
