Although it will be difficult to keep the buses clean all day due to the roadworks around Fellgate Estate.Although I saw a Solo which was sparkling on Monday, I saw another rather scruffy looking example tonight.

There's a limit, like..!Sunday must be wash day for GCT.
Buses need washing more than once per week (assuming that's how frequently GCT's are done).

Do they report the outcomes in full does anyone know?

(22 Jan 2015, 8:16 pm)aureolin wrote That's what I was thinking. There seems to be more and more buses at Felling every time I pass, and that's not taking into account the ones out in service. I keep meaning to make a night time detour past there.
