They are a state, the lot of them spend more time in the garage than they do on the road.

Sounds like they wont have long left on the road then.. Heard they are due off soon anyway
I have to admit they are not the best of Buses, yet the X reg Volvo was a fantastic Bus and was in far better shape than the Omnicitys!
B10 62233 is on 163 lates tonight!
If those bendis are sold they will likely end up as scrap I reckon, I recall it happened to some middle aged Irish volvos which didn't sell.

Something that could be significant is that these Scania bendis have not been refurbished, whereas Volvo B7LA bendis in Aberdeen have. So, maybe these bendis are soon for the chop. Mind you, First Manchester probably still have a few early Volvo B7TL-ALX400s due for replacement soon.
