You could say that about most buses that you see. Isn't it like seeing a 66 plate  platinum broken down??

Yes and I would say that about any new bus breaking down. However I drive streetlites in Worcester pretty much everyday, and whilst not really liking the drive quality, they are very reliable buses. Therefore, it is ok to think that other issues like maintenance or just a dud bus may be an issue here!
