There's now a notice issued by the DVSA regarding the suspension issues with E200s and E300s, which originally started after an accident with First Glasgow if my memory is correct.

According to a friend, Uno have withdrawn all of their E200s, with other routes having temporary reduced timetables to allow for their vehicles to be spread out more. I wonder if we will see something similar up here?

All e200s off the road. That is what most of us can dream for

Of course! You want loads of people left standing at bus stops for hours with no buses! Just what people with an interest in buses would 'dream of'

You got buses in the reserve fleet. Suppose that's the problem when you focus so much on one type of bus. Especially when they made such shocking buses to start with

You really talk rubbish!

There's many routes where only an E200 can get around and there's nowhere near 93 spare buses. Truth is there's currently 1 (4364)

I wonder if you even realise how crass and ignorant your comments come across as.

I'm not even going to try and dignify myself with some kind of explanation, as you probably won't even bother to read it in full.
