(Yesterday, 7:11 am)TransitObserver wrote 27726 is now at Slatyford for the 6/7 due to issues with the CAZ. At what point does this get ridiculous? Buses that can’t go into the city; 27725, 27726, 27731, 27823, 36470, 36476, (37301, 37313) when they’ve had their new engines. 19386 gone to Sunderland for same issues. That’s 6 buses 8 once them 2 come back with only 5 boards on 6/7. 27723 keeps being put on the 6/7 too even though I believe the issues have been resolved.
What I don’t understand is why 27727 went to South Shields, surely send them one of them buses and take 27727 back.
To be honest ive not heard anything yet, but im sure the 62/63 services are up for new buses soon, its normally every ten years,
With the capacity issues at times it would make sense for newer deckers to replace some of the none CAZ compliant vehicles,
2 birds one stone scenario
