40498 Cylinder head gone
60499 off fleet
61484 is at Ledger Way looks to be having some right work done to it all interior has been took out, all flooring, most panels have been removed and rear end being rebuilt must be more than bus is worth

Close probably, but I doubt it'd be fixed if it was! I wonder if it will gain a new interior....? I don't think we should stretch that far!  By the way CS1, was that one of the B10L's that 'had' fleas? |

I think he means 61485, CS1 mentioned it would be coming here to have its rotten chassis sorted.

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. |

Sorted now ;D. you would probably get a bite on an Olympian now the weather is turning nice-although not as much as when we had the MCW Fastlines-greedy Fleas!. |

It certainly looks to be that way CS1. Is the B10L program now back on schedule then to make them comply with DDA regulations and remove the welded seats?

Dont think the B10Ls are being made DDA compliant as they are regarded as step entrance, its just the same thing week in week out-rear axles failing, air problems, electrics going haywire, and the bodywork. These 15 buses would have bankrupted a smaller firm.
