4135 dead won't be out till next week
826 on 243/4

Now theres a surprise, 4135s visit to WA obviously not improved it's reliability!

Buses don't just come back from paint straight into service.  They are always out of inspection and quite often needing an MOT

how often are they inspected

Maximum gap between inspection is 4 weeks

4135 most likely out of inspection then as it has been away for at least three weeks.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Staff of all grades from Directors down to cleaners have full PCV licenses. Anyone of any grade with a PCV License, passed to drive buses by the training school can volunteer for overtime if there is no driver available.
It is no different to me doing a days overtime like I have been doing recently

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
