As has been mentioned, there was only two of these vehicles ever built, which made sourcing parts more difficult than usual resulting in longer periods off the road. Both 4845 and 8293 will be replaced by other vehicles when new vehicles enter service. Both vehicles are currently in storage at Saltmeadows Road pending disposal.
only ridden 8293 once that was on the 74 to Hexham thought it was unusual ride but it was still felt strange as i was used to buses like Scanias Wright Solar, Volvo Wright Renowns, Mercedez Benz Citaro and etc
