They not only suffered from having non-standard engines, which proved problematic in sourcing replacement parts, but they did also have corrosion issues. 3789 almost made it into preservation a few years ago, but upon inspection there was severe corrosion underneath and an almost non-existence outer frame. Such a shame, as they were very good buses.
Thanks for your help mate. It's a real shame to hear that none of them have survived as they were a unique batch of buses and I have loads of great memories of them. Am I right in thinking 3789 was the only Express Metrobus to receive a new engine (volvo?) and the Red and Blue Go Xpress livery? I think this bus went to Premier in Blyth after Go North East as did one other example if i remember correctly.
