So long as operators need the vehicles, and they're not dreadful, nobody is going to say anything. It'd be extra money spent with no redeeming features, especially in a market where short notice PVR increase/high VOR rates can demand 6 wheels on the road at a moments notice.

For Wright, in my mind anyway, I'd be wanting to make sure demo/loan vehicles were well presented to show that they, at the very least, cared about it. Now I'm not saying a dodgy panel on a loan vehicle is the end of the world, just that, haway - why *not* fix it properly?

Poor from them then. Can only assume they're experiencing a paint shortage.

Not sure if there's anything away for work at the moment - but there seemed to be a few branded vehicles missing today.

6317 spent 2 months off the road between December and March
6321 has been off for the last week
6323 has been off since the end of March
6325 spent around 3 weeks off end of March to April.

Various others look to have had shorter (1 week or so) spells off the road too, possibly accounts for the increased sightings of Omnidekkas etc on the 21.
