How many times has a branded vehicle appeared off route while that service uses anything spare. I think it's good but it just seems a bit daft buying a new bus (or 2) as a spare when other services go without any new investiments and make do with rattling MPD's/SPD's or frequent examples of Olympians. BIB, you are suggesting using 39 seater Versas as back-up for 44-seater examples on a route that does fill the Citaro Artic used on it now. Given there's 14 Citaros, makes sense to order 14 Versas for like-for-like replacement. By having 2 in Northern, it doesn't limit their use unlike if they were branded for the 58. |

And the fact they fill up Citaro Artics now is slightly irrelevant, GNE chose Versas- I didn't. Well I just really don't see the logic in brand new northern spares? Get some Solars then. |

I would have thought buying a couple of extra vehicles on top of an order and paying for them over a number of years is logic. This will also help get rid of some older 'spare' vehicles within the fleet. |
