40405 broken down again for the second time in 10 days, on bridgeman street around the corner from Bolton Depot more or less. Didn't quite make it home so to speak.

Talking of darts 4000 is knackered, it sounds like its engine will drop out of the back.

Went on Arrow 31918 561s withins circular. Such a banger now a days. All the arrows should be binned off

on a posotive note though

The oldest bendi at Bury 10017 sounds like its had a bit of a tune up, was on 471s to Bolton today and it can shift a hell of a lot quicker than the newer 05 12001/18 omni city scania bendis

N412JBV needs to be binned off if anything. If you think that the Arrows are bad, then you've seen nothing until you've been on that thing.

I remember 34262 when it was based in Bury before being shipped out to Wigan, I can remember many a time I had it on my local route the 510 and it got into Bolton with steam pouring out the back, radaitor leak big time.

In all honesty your right thomas, some of the withdrawal policy amazes me. Some of these p reg olys. 34069/70 to name just to from BY Depot are withdrawn, but seem to like to keep older vehicles in. There has been numerous withdrawals of r reg and p reg vehicles for all reasons, some because they are knackered. Yet some, seem decent buses and they are out. But they hold onto oldies like 34262
