I know, when MG was in he said there were plans to increase the frequency to every 12 minutes. The buses get so busy in the morning and in the late afternoon and at night. I got one from Sunderland around 13:00 and it was basically rammed. The 60 desperately needs an updated frequency. But if you ask me along with the old Coaster the Drifter is one of the best and most unique liveries. It will be missed plus the Drifters are quite reliable there very rarely off or break down. I have noticed quite a few have had some panel replacements but that's due to drivers and not the buses themselves. 

I was behind 5374 tonight and the state of the rear is a disgrace ngl. They haven't even had a retrim inside, they've been running one of the busiest services for 11 years. At least MG cared about the customer experience. 

I know GNE aren't really in the position for new buses but the 60 would ideally be at the top of the list to get a fleet update.
