Chiefgaz, do you mean 61485 that was on long term reserve at RO? 61484 still in use at OG, un less it has gone to DO over the weekend that is. 61484 was at Rotherham to have new flooring put in, Doncaster have the people with expertise in chassis/floor repairs so must have moved over with 61485 waiting its turn or being replaced by 61484 as some work was started at Olive. Obviously the corrosion/rotten floor was a lot worse than expected, dread to think how much this will cost but it all points to the fact that there will be no more new buses (apart from Park and ride B7RLEs) this year. Will 60607/60738 get repaired as every other long term seriously damaged bus is now being put back into service. Does that include 60559 CS1? |

Went down to Ledger Way Thursday morning and it is defiantly 61484 what is there, lets hope that the Hampshire buses are not like this because i believe we have been well and truly shafted with these  |

Thats certainly looking sorry for itself, that would take some serious work to get it back into service surely, especially since its pretty much a shell with seats from what Ive read as its been totally stripped of working parts? |
