I mean if you think that’s bad you should see other depots, I live in Darlington and friends with quite a few drivers so often am out and about with many of them, but 9 times out of 10 there’s a lot of vehicles off the road, the one that springs to mind is streetlite 1594 that’s been off the road since November

Pretty much any day that goes by in Darlington something else breaks down, I heard the other day that a driver was supposed to start at 7am and finally went on the road at 10:15 due to waiting for a bus because there was problems with quite a few of them

Eventually he had to swap over 2 buses for him to get a bus that was suitable for the route he was doing

I know Darlington even had/have a Redcar streetlite on loan because we are that short so it happens to all depots

Moral of the story is at least a bus turned up no matter what the state of it is, providing it will get you from A to B
