slinkydevil Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Anyone get any numbers. I'd be interested in any other people who like to spot buses too? Sorry I'll get my anorak.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassettiespagetie Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I think the oldest in the fleet is 83 and 87 of which they got in 1988(I feel sad knowing this).... So I guess the bus company will be selling these off soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess the bus company will be selling these off soon. I'd like to buy a single decker, paint it white, write 'winnebego' on the side and park it outside AT's house.

hboy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 £2m on new buses? You have to wonder how much mileage the existing ones do, particularly considering they drive round half empty all the time so are pulling no weight. Do they really need 11 brand new buses?

You have to wonder how much mileage the existing ones do, particularly considering they drive round half empty all the time so are pulling no weight. Do they really need 11 brand new buses? Be thankful they got the math right or we could so easily had 2 buses for £11M :o well that what seems to happen normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Older buses seemed to be a bit quicker though, presume newer buses have lower emissions and rev lower to keep fuel and emissions down?, it sounded quieter too. Be interesting to see how well these last, what with the islands rough roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put a fiver on it being the same mileage full or half empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
