Go North West

RE: Go North West - FLEETNEWS ONLY - NO STRIKE TALK!
I think leasing the veichles out makes sense as it makes the routes look more normal with GNW own brand being back out and on the maintenance side when veichles are parked up for large amounts of time and not being used can cause more harm than good.
Parked up for long periods can cause battery problems , musty smells on board especially with the warm sunny weather lately etc .
The only thing I would be concerned about is maintenance as are they having to keep the maintenance standards up to high expectations or run them round in the state of some of the smaller operators standards.
And are the buses that are being leased out having GNW ticket machines staying on the veichles so that the full range of GNW tickets can be sold?
