Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
Anyones guess, but well soon see! The Renowns on paper have 2 years left in service going by Arriva's 15 year general rule, but personally I think they are capable of a lot longer than that with a bit of a spruce up, but well see!
Runcorn are trying to get rid of the lot of them mate, and its no surprise seeing as the lot of them have gone through just under 500 gearboxes and countless engines during their time there, the costs are mounting, and they wont last much longer living such a hard life! Its a funny one as P&P treatment doesn't include any sort of mechanicals as standard, only vehicles judged to be needing them actually gets them. So buses are coming back looking pretty good and rather refreshed are most likely still carrying faults they had when they left.
