The reliability issues are generally because they've been ragged and poorly looked after all their lives. It isn't an entire Marshall problem though, Plaxton's have been ragged and they're ruined now as well. I wouldn't say constantly swapped though, they're in service all day and only really get booked off on lates.

A shunter friend of mine at GL replaced 5 completely different Marshalls with other buses in 2 days (3/4 weeks ago) due to faults and breaking down, at one point this led to the only spare bus available at the depot being sent out. The marshalls with the SB220's are not the favorite buses of the shunters and engineers, the SB220s dont seem as bad lately, but its rare to see the complete set of 2402 - 15 out
