I can only put it down to priorities? I guess engineering teams at both companies see a mechanically sound bus more important than a technology sound bus. I'm not saying that's an incorrect approach mind, but they won't have that choice to make come 2016. Perhaps it's important for companies to be able to repair/replace this equipment in a timely manner?
Just a thought, say a rear destination goes off, and its the last bus out of the depot, all spares are used, does the Company not operate a service whereby commuters need the bus to get to work in case they get a fine....whilst I understand the law behind it, sometimes it is just impractical.
