I love those buses but they either need a lot more maintenance spending on them or moving off front line services. I think what the interior looks like is much less important than the condition the oily bits are in, or 6086's near constant electrical issues.
Yeah that's fair, must admit I can't see under the hood but surely this is more a maintenance issue more than anything. Obviously don't want to go making accusations but some of the stuff that comes out about 'botching' they'd arguably be better sorting that out than anything.
No point buying new things if you won't look after them.
