Yes, and it’s been ongoing for years. 7530 is exactly the same, and that’s been that way since about 2021. First day back for it today since December and they’ve put it onto an X18 - mental decision making.
They send things back out without proper road tests, so as soon as they’re pushed back into service prematurely and need to do more than a trip around Ashington they break - every time.
