He reckoned they used to send buses to Optare for inspection/service and they would pick them up with windscreen wipers not working, panels not secured properly and dash boards lit up like Christmas tree’s so it wasn’t just the TFGM vehicles not shown any love...... the only optares that seem to run ok are the diesel ones NOT maintained by Optare.

We have the same problem with ours, they'll more than likely have developed another fault by the time we pick them up.

Also, when our batch of Euro6 Versa's arrived, every single one was delivered without the heating pipes attached, so none had working demisters or heating. Probably why when it comes to leasing additional buses, they usually choose Enviro's.
