Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
The "58"s will be replaced by cascades as soon as they can be sourced, rather than new. Arriva's current policy doesn't justify less profitable garages receiving new buses, when they can be replaced by transfers from garages which are more capable of providing the required return on investment. More Evoras will be coming to the North West in the next year or so, but as it stands, Merseyside is where they'll be heading.

Not surprised Runcorn won’t get Evoras but newer cascaded Pulsars.

Whilst Arriva are getting rid of the EcoCity's, Arriva Leicester have started taking delivery of Wright Electroliners, i think Arriva need luck with that given the luck they've had with the other eco buses.

Really bad for a Arrvia 13 plate and 17 plates being sold or scrapped and getting 58 plate VDL

Financially better off in the long run...costing far too much to repair a gas bus compared to a standard diesel
