Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
All of the MAN ALXs in Cumbria are knackered, and are not suited to the work they do at all. Almost all of them are rather smokey, but unfortunately we're stuck with the awful things.
22137 suffered engine failure a few weeks ago. 22160 was the last to enter service, with it being the last one of the 5 that came directly from Manchester to get a repaint. It broke down on the first day in service here and hasn't been out in service since to my knowledge.
As another side note, Lillyhall's 22104 starting pouring thick black smoke out of it again, just a few weeks after it had engine repairs for thick black smoke pouring out of it.
