But then given the reliability of them it's probably best that passengers are given half a chance of getting to their destinations (Whitby/Scarborough) using the likes of 1743 and 4080

The only thing that that engine is good for is your typical Killi to North Walbottle or Wallsend to Chapel House or at a push, a suburban route like the 308 or GNE 21. Anything more and for 7 years of consistent service and few breakdowns, you need either a DAF / VDL DB250, Scania N270UD, or a Volvo B9TL(240 for city / suburban), (270 for suburban / semi trunk and semi rural), (310 for trunk and rural).
