Metroline批P躉竟然退批較新既圓窗都唔退埋批方窗先?!

英國真係好怪.
批咁新的車都退,但係d二十幾年車的老野卻仲係在小城市周街行

The TPs they are getting rid of were leased, unlike the earlier one which, from what I remember, were owned. So it of course makes more sense to keep the older ones.

一D都唔怪..LONDON由TFL管, 有晒Regulation, 仲有好多野係同用車掛鉤..
包括資助..

英國其他地方REGULATION冇咁緊要...所以冇得咁比較.

First, Stagecoach年中都係倫敦轉唔少車去其他地方繼續用..
