Aye that's fair mind. Mind probably doesn't explain how bad some are them though. Darlington does seem to have issues with keeping things on the road similar to Redcar. Obviously it could be just being unlucky with the vehicles they have but the Streetlite's and Enviro 400's based there always seem to be VOR. Who knows though, could be anything.
