I haven't seen 88 for a few weeks, so not sure if that one may have gone off for refurbishment? I did think about age restrictions before posting my comment earlier today and I did wonder whether age restrictions could in theory push up the price operators are prepared to pay to run them and I came to the conclusion that the drivers wages and fuel bill would still be the same regardless of the age of a vehicle but I do think your right to a point. While it could be argued that the younger the bus the more reliable it is surly it's more down to the operator who's operating them. You can have a small fleet of buses under 8 years old but if there not maintained then there's going to be issues - and there's been plenty of operators that on paper have had decent looking fleets if vehiches age wise but have struggled to conform reliability wise to running tenders due to vehiches constantly breaking down etc. |
