Cuts everywhere, lack of investment, second hand unrefurbished buses which are 14 year old for frontline work etc. It's in a poor shape.
The Sunderland Deptford fleet, in particular, is in poor shape. ULEZ or not and Riverside isn't much better recently apart from the 21/X21 which constantly gets investment.
