Hi

Interesting that you have heard that I must say.

There have been a lot of options put forward looking at fleet standardisation across the Midlands and that is on one of the options - by no means decided upon.

Is anything going to be done about them? Compare them with NXWMs 56 plate Volvos, the Commanders are an embarrassment alongside

We are refurbing some of them but I am looking at how we can get them retrimmed ahead of the repaint.

That is what we are looking at - it may be that nothing really works but fleet standardisation is generally a good thing to try and achieve.

Good question.

Streetlites, Volvo and Solo probably.
