In terms of number of breakdowns, they are, but you're lucky to get one without some form of warning light on (generally engine malfunction or brake linings worn).
28040 is the worst I've driven - it has a handbrake sensor problem meaning it often thinks the handbrake is off when it isn't. Annoying when you've got 15 pensioners getting on and the floor randomly pings up and you can't put it down again....
Be interesting to see what replaces them as that's 70+ buses that need replacing and there's not a single single decker on order until the electrics turn up if including the ALX300's, Darts and MANviro 200's which are all finished.
