Dont think it was 4057 as I saw this on 534s yesterday afternoon

Correct, 4059 has been off the road for some time now, think you reported it some time back as having some panels removed etc in the workshop thread.

Yeah as it was at the back stripped down.
I have seen the pic of the dla on facebook smashed through the fence but theres no sighting to see the fleet number as it was dark.

Well...After a truly awful ride on Y37 KNB before on the 715, I would certainly not let that bus on that route! We nearly stopped on some of the hills and the driver said "I could walk faster than this" Truly awful bus that one! 2628 wasen't much better!

I agree there I know kiln lane well on 452s

Does anyone on here agree that DAF/Ikarus Y37 KNB (2564) should be seen to by the engineering department or at least withdrawn. I think personally it is becoming that slow that it is dangerous?!
