What has the 5 ever done to you other than keep breaking down? It seems like that all you're interested in is having a go at the buses on the 5 because they are unreliable. No matter how much you complain here nothing will get done, GNE Management is who you need to be saying all this stuff to. And plus, the cadets still have another year in there as the ones on the 5 are into their 11th year of their 12 year average service life as they entered service in 2003. Really the B10s should be mainly focused on as they are into their 15th year of the average 15. Although some of these could go into the Driver Training fleet to replace some of the coaches.
