Interesting.... if we assume that many others would think the same then it does come down to 'filthy lucre'; what you get for your money!ihavenonamenoreallyidont wrote:I think it may have done.
If we take the view that the 101 is a pretty niche item, particularly in a livery that ties it in to a handful of routes then the projected sales must be fairly low---the 66, despite being also in a single livery won't look out of place practically anywhere and will appeal to newer traction fans as well as the old geeks at UKTS. More sales = bigger discount opportunity yet still able to recoup costs and make a profit. The cynic in me would love to claim that part of the exercise has been to gauge reaction to how much the more niche users will pay for newer versions of old stock.
