On another note. I sadly had to take a B5 out of service today, some kids had decided to see how the upper saloon seats are assembled and totally wrecked the seat in the process, snapped it clean off. It really gripes me that the louts have no respect at all for £300,000 buses, or even buses in general and they are the ones who moan when they don't turn up!! Argh!

Snapped it off as in snapped it off it's supports?

Nope ripped from the rear row, leaving sharp plastic, looked to me they'd use quite a lot of force.

I'd imagine they'd need a lot of force.

Correct, even engineers have trouble getting the rear seats off upstairs and they have the correct tools.

Any idea if the morons have been caught yet?

As far as I know they are reviewing the CCTV lets hope they get them.

Hopefully. It sometimes makes me wonder if these idiots even are aware of the fact that the buses have several CCTV cameras...

I don't think they care, chances of catching them are slim even with CCTV evidence these days, I sound old but as a kid I wouldn't dare do what these lot do these days, but that's an entirely different conversation ;)

5501 has lost its Green Leafs, seen this morning on Colemore Row

I saw that today and was wondering which B5LH it was. Anymore to have their vinyls removed?

Only seen 5501, But why they having them removed ?

Because they are old and people alerady know about the hybrids. They should do what diamond have done and reduce the hybrid advertising

Definitely just accident repair and only the loss of leaves on the offside of 5501, all other vinyls on this and all the other BC hybrids remains intact. 5501 was off the road for several weeks undergoing repair.

Making their pictures public would possibly help, any idea where on the route it happened ?

No idea where it was fine when I checked when I took over, and 5516 it was.

And we wonder why National Express don't buy more new buses, well one reason is obviously finances, but another has to be the way the new buses are treated.

If they can, NE should identify the culprits, charge their parents for the damage and ban the lads from all NE buses. They may think differently about there actions when they have to walk everywhere.
