When the W-RBB Tridents were transferred to Durham depot, drivers complained about the heating and being underpowered, countless hours were then spent to get them up to standard - hence why they are now at Yorkshire Tiger rather than being scrapped. The same went for the T-FGN deckers. I'm assuming the reason the Ashington inspector said that to you was because he knows who you are and thought he could have a joke, rather than being slagged off on a forum. On a positive though, I challenge anyone to say that Arriva haven't improved from 5 years ago.You've just got to look at the fleet don't you really!
Most vehicles on "main" services are pretty new, and most have WiFi etc
