Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Thats a major false start in my books. The question that should be looked at is how much testing did they undergo before they were delivered and going by what I have just read I would say very little or none at all.

When new vehicles are built they are usually put through a series of thorough tests which includes oprning and closing the main doors however many times is designated in the criteria for such tests.

Yes I know you might all criticise me for saying this but I don't care, my point is ALL vehicles no matter which company has ordered them should be thoroughly tested by the builder company's testing team but obviously these have not been put through any tests because of the rush to introduce them into service and the fact that a door has reportedly fell off suggests they need to be safety case approved before going in service again because I can tell you now, if I had been driving yhe vehicle that lost a door it would be going back to the depot with a recommendation to ground the fleet until EVERYTHING that MUST BE tested is done and then once the vehicles complete a series of stringent tests then release them to service 1 by 1 but ONLY after properly completing the necessary testing.

I agree, bad start stagecoach, that won't do your publicity any good.
