I think p diddy may agree, with the exception of 6024 in the early days, the B7s were coping well, but doing 3 round trips on the X21 6 days a week when these vehicles had spent years plodding around the streets of london doing no more than 20-30mph, these weren't going to last a huge amount of time. Gne management will be well aware of the constant use of Non branded vehicles ( re X7 ) and no Doubt they'll have a plan in place.
