1> What are these buses that are coming soon?

2> Where are these better buses? It can't be the Citaroes as their already in service

3> Are these better buses new buses or buses that Go Northwest are getting from elsewhere?

4> How soon are these better buses due to arrive which also means how long are Go Northwest planning on keeping these B7s in service?

Obviously Go Northwest have got plans for Queens Road Depot and updating the age of the current fleet so why put these straplines on older buses if replacement vehicles are not planned to arrive in next couple of months or sooner?

Apparently the B7’s are only being retained so the rest of the fleet can have exhaust and emission upgrades but I suspect it also has a lot to do with the citaros being pretty unreliable.
