If it's electrics as I think was reported, it probaby is something to do with the refurb. I'd happily see them back in birkenhead instead of the hybrids.

There's no such thing as 'safe mode', it's a myth. They're tuned down to improve component life and reduce fuel burn. I'm informed that the Enviros in particular have two preset modes, 'economical' and 'performance'.

Electrical fault supposedly picked up during the installation of new electrical systems during refurb. Can't say I see it as an issue that the vehicles aren't brand new considering the extent of refurbishment.
