26291 & 292 are back on the 685 today. I think it is more reliability they’re getting ruined on them routes. They had to limit them to 50mph as they were using too much fuel. The 27***’s seem to handle it better I would say they should go back to using them tbh.
26293 must have been having some work done to it, it’s back out today on the 31’s. I fear that if the rest of the 262’s do come to slatyford which is looking likely as Stockton have taken Slatyford’s electric buses they will just get ruined. The 272’s for example aren’t as good as when they first turned up back in 2023.
