Guessing the last one knew they were going so didn^t care. If you think that^s bad, try Arriva High Wycome... the worst fleet I^ve ever seen. :o

Best I've come across for a well-maintained, young fleet is the Oxford Bus Company. Title: Re: Stagecoach southwest 04 reg buses failing Post by: ollie b on February 02, 2011, 16:22:59 i must admit its only the ones that have been transferred that are a problem all the others are fine
