GNE downgrading the buses, then pulling half the 40/41 and 42 and then losing the evening and Sunday services just put nails in them.

I couldn't agree more. The 41 42 42A 11 and 19 have gone way downhill. They should at least give them an upgrade. They can't handle the route. When they pass they sound like there gonna break down. At least give them Scania Decker's Or Citaros. Something different than the solos. The solos would work better on services that they are required on. Like shuttle services or something else
