倫敦那邊要換車快嘛，七年車齡就要換走。
現在還有一大堆前倫敦的三叉戟、飛鏢待售，賣得出已經算好，
拿來有甚麼用途也沒所謂……

我坐X173FBB隔離果部車去ga!!

呢部president真係好特別...

Not quite.

Many operators outside London are either owned by big groups, which have either the money to buy new buses, or a pool of their own buses to cascade around, or smaller operators. For the latter, a lot of them have actually invested new buses, but usually smaller types like the Solos or, at best, large single deckers.

The market for used double deckers in Britain nowadays rests on school bus operations, but most of the ex-London vehicles on the market are those which come off lease, usually between 6-10 years old. At this ages, the buses can't be cheap, and many of the London deckers are built to the shorter length, meaning a lower capacity. These features defy the business model for operators which run school services, which involves the use of aged, and hence cheap to buy double deckers with good capacity to reduce operational cost,

You can tell the market value of these buses aren't that great, by looking at the likes of Metroline and Go-Ahead London. They still keeps hold of the earliest built Tridents/B7TLs which they actually own for this very reason.

VP20 (X173FBB) is a different example. It was previously a vehicle of East Thames Buses, owned by Transport for London until last year. It was a few years ago when it was transferred under TfL ownership, and converted to open-top for use as a promotional vehicle. It's more an internal transfer, instead of a sale.

我都補貼返先

又未必要賣，其實好似好多ｃｉｔｙ／ｔｏｗｎ仔都有３大公司插旗，
好多london唔要的車都調去呢d地方,雖然係同一間公司名,
但真正係調還是比錢買就真係唔清楚......

話時話,前幾日返上glasgow,又見first glasgow多左d前first london的trident...
