I'm not an Arriva employee, and as such have no reason to be massively defensive. 

To say that fitters would give the all clear for a bus to be used in service, having just fixed it, without them actually believing so is ludicrous. Fully aware that buses go out with small defects, but this clearly wasn't a small issue, and they wouldn't have put it back out if they thought it would quickly break down again.
