When Stagecoach moved into north Bristol, they picked up nine Rotala vehicles as well as the routes.  All were in service just before the transfer.  Immediately afterwards S/C drafted in replacements while the nine were overhauled.  The first one took over a year to be brought up to a standard S/C would accept.  Of the nine, three were deemed to be too far gone to even be worked on, and were withdrawn.  And they had all apparently been "serviceable" just a few days previously .....

I hate to speculate but the recent crash in manchester apparently the driver was reving before he went into the building, perhaps the handbrake slipped off

Its not uncommon for drivers to rev at bus stations
