Xplore Dundee

At least 8 of them have the camera mirrors; all are now delivered. They're not smart hybrid, but have stop/start fitted.

How come 6683 (pictured above) in the middle of the batch has standard mirrors when the rest have camera mirrors ?

Presumably, it's the one that wasn't in the two photos that I have seen (at the Xplore depot), or it's been changed since it was seen on a test run in Falkirk.

How are the battery packs doing on these near 7 year old hybrids? I've read online that they don't last as long as they were expected to and cost 1/3 of the original price of the bus to replace, if they do fail, will they be replaced or will the buses gut upgraded to Euro V or VI diesel?

The Volvo's for some reason are doing well, these ones not so much.
