Thats why the ex London cast offs have always been so welcomed up here for the last 15 years adding extra to capacity to the existing decker on the main routes plus the "local" services that dont make the money for new deckers and around in every depot. I am still baffled why none have come up since the VLWS/DLAs.
They have done for 15 years so why not now where have they all gone now.

The early DLAs were quite poor weren't they, limited seats in the lower deck compared to a normal decker, & so slow they struggled on hills not even that steep, the later models would have been ok bit more power. The only ex London vehicles that were worse than the DLAs were the Pathfinders, they've all long gone.
