62 is going to Longton with 799 as 799 blew its engine on the 63 again the other day so 62's new engine is coming out and going into 799
Why couldnt they get 62 to work if it had a new engine? What was up with it?

These optare's seem to chuck engines rather regular. Wouldnt 799 recent engine be under some sort of warrenty barely been back on the road a month, shame as its quite a nice spec bus too

They couldnt get the gear box and engine to pair and then it developed a electrical fault

They maybe engineering repairs or a cheap rebuild to keep costs down rather than a new engine from Cummins with warranty?

Cummins be the better option i would think,  guessing the merc engine is the small pot one from the van range
