Nope, they don't. I was referring to the fact they won't withdraw 56 plate buses when there are 54 plates still operating into the city region.

Perhaps Runcorn may make a better job of maintaining both the Centros and the Geminis?

They are rubbish (my opinion), but allocation isn't really down to the choice of depots, it's decided by the depots needs, and ultimately the final decision is made at Head Office with some input from the depot.

Correct me if Im wrong, but they have pretty much the same capacity as a Cadet, and mechanically they are absolutely identical, so don't really have any difference in power between the two of them.
