Engineering have said some of the DLAs we've acquired have so much wrong with them, it'll cost birkenhead so much to fix them its not worth bothering for the short time theyre actually staying here hence why theyre rarely out! On the first day they started to enter service here 1 broke down and the windscreen fell out of another, terrible buses and havnt been looked after unfortunatly.

Hybrids where being polished inside and out last night at the back of the yard getting ready for the launch, even the boss of LS was in until around 8pm down the back of the yard with them!
