Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot
Both layouts probably still programmed in Luke, therefore the driver would have just picked the one he knew.

@CX54, this is once again the old cliched topic. Enthusiasts view and business views are different thing as Im sure you know. Enthusiasts view for me on Pulsars for example is that the vast majority should be driven out of Ballymena and straight into PVS, they are an appalling excuse for a new bus and leave a lot to be desired for me personally.
For Mr B.I.G Manager at the Arriva Headquarters, they tick so many boxes. They have a high capacity, good engine adaptable to most routes, good fuel capacity, and DDA compliant. Once again these do a job.
Every bus has its day, and considering the Marshalls were, as you rightly pointed out, a budget option for a new bus at the time, they've done a good job although some are now becoming unfit for purpose as they are showing their age. Its the same with any type of bus really, every bus has its day!
If you don't like Marshalls, fair enough, dont blame you with some of the sheds on the road, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but as you know, there is 2 sides to every sort of thing like this
