Deptford's examples aren't too bad compared to the ones at Riverside. They have been allocated to work which is a lot more strenuous at Deptford, that's for sure, and service 71 should be a walk in the park.
Service 71 is currently allocated two Volvo B10BLEs, and obviously Chester-le-Street isn't going to gain two additional spare vehicles. Could this be the start of the withdrawal of some of the oldest Volvo B10BLEs in the fleet at Chester?
