What proof do you have they are suffering already? There has been an issue with the screen wash not working which Volvo have put right on certain vehicles, hence why they did not go on the A19 for obvious reasons but other than that, they are operating fine and we did not loose any mileage on the X10 route all of last month.
The vehicles are normally off at least 1 day per month for a service, hence why 3963 was painted up to act as a spare.
If that's the case, they must just be receiving an extensive wash every time I pass Sunderland Road depot...which is quite frequently. In future, I'll take a photo every time I see one in there and I'll put it on here for discussion.
Nevertheless, buses aren't designed to do that kind of mileage anyway... Do you realistically think they'll realistically have a long life if they're being exhausted like that on a daily basis? Hmm.
I did not say extensive wash. I will refrain from posting on here in future as it seems if you disagree with comments made from certain member(s), a reply comes back which is sometimes sarcastic and uncalled for. All I asked was what proof you had. Some members of this site need to grow up!
