How much would a Parry People Mover cost?

In the title.

I just wondered that's all.

Probably not a lot to buy/lease but I bet it's cost a fortune in tests... has it been on test for about a year or more? Seems like it!!!

About £430,000 I think. Cheap to run though, 2000 mpg per passenger. Basically a Ford Focus engine for 40 passengers.

Wow that's incredibly well priced.

How much does a 153 cost to lease that they have replaced?

i know 142's are £100,000 a year aren't they?

About that, train carriages are £1-2 million to build new these days. But they last 20-35 years or 4-10 million miles. The Parry people movers are ideal for short branch lines with low loads and have low track wear. I think the SVR was looking at buying one for a commuter service.

I think with these rip off charges from the rosco's the unit prices should be included in the franchise.

I reckon you could hire a fair few Leyland Nationals for that.
