Could be that the "book value" is still too high and, even though repairs won't be authorised, the accountants still require the vehicle to be fully depreciated before permitting disposal .....

So, if it can't be repaired, can't the vehicle be used as spare parts for the other four ex-Scottish MANs? The new seat covers and destination equipment could be put into another vehicle.

I assume Stagecoach will be having the same issue with all of the other MAN E300s that are on the disposal list around the country - the ones which are not part of the engine replacement scheme?
