January Fleet changes

[4006]

Thanks Tony, it was a quiet month,  what a waste transferring the Mercs to the training fleet, then withdrawing them. Would have thought that Mercs were the ideal bus to drive?

They were transferred with the intention of using them, but when they were checked over by reserve fleet, they were found to be in too poor a condition to add to the training fleet. This is not to critisize Wolverhampton's maintenance, or say they were unfit for use there, but what you have to consider is with the cost of conversion they have to be in a condition that will last a few years, not just be fit 'now'

Well said...but not said Tony  :o certainly makes a change WN fobbing their cast offs onto someone else  :D Lets face it if their no good at WN they no good anywhere  :)

A hell of a lot of money is thrown at the mercs. They require a lot of work maintaining them every 28 days. Unfortunately most parts are from reserve fleet coming off older mercs so it's a no win situation.

Although saying that they still are more reliable than the nightmare they call a B6.
