I'm told Lillyhall's 22108 constantly has problems with its gears.
Preston's 22257 is off service waiting for a new engine, then it is transferring to Chorley. The rest of the batch they had have had plenty of mechanical issues.

Coincidentally, 22108 was on the 1050 Carlisle-Keswick today. It reversed off the stand in the bus station ok, then the driver had difficulty selecting forward gear. He switched off and on a couple of times and eventually managed to go. Just as well as it was blocking the bus station.

Also I was on a bus in Preston Bus Station a week last Saturday and 22257 was being hooked up to a tow wagon. Our driver shouted to everyone in the bus "that's the worst bus we have got!" then shouted to the wagon driver "Don't bring it back!" If it is being transferred to Chorley, she will have had her wish granted!
