Now that surprises me, having spoken to a lot of Ex-Optare engineers they all say how much better the airport buses were maintained compared to there TfGM counterparts. Still if a bus isn't worth much more than scrap or parts then cant really be helped.

Makes me wonder what they are actually worth scrap value, mustn't be cheap disposing of the batteries and is there much of a demand for the electrical parts with many operators moving away from Optare hybrids.
