MurdnunoC noted that a "Blaydon Racers" branded Mercedes Citaro broke down earlier; we've recently seen several reports of Stagecoach Newcastle's MAN ALX300s breaking down; and tyresmoke regularly gives us an insight into the "Sapphire" operations down on Teesside which sees vehicles changed over and breaking down on a daily basis. We don't even blink an eye at these - what makes the "Prince Bishops" branded Scania L94s any different?
Andreos1's ongoing tirade (which - as I'm sure some of you will agree - is incredibly boring and beyond the realms of providing reasonable debate) against these vehicles is the reason why a lot of you have been sucked into believing that these vehicles are incredibly unreliable and need to be replaced. Back in the real world, I'm sure the bus operators would fix the problem if it was such a huge issue.
Funny enough, i actually like the Scania's in the fleet better than the Cadets, B10's and even the B7's (ex London ones)....
Buses breakdown but Andreos1 isn't the only person who mentions the same stuff all the time... i admit i'm bad for repeating stuff on here but its not end of the world.
