Then we sent a centro 2616 back to winsford due to the amount of jobs that needed doing to it.

Fleet movements between divisions aren't arranged by the division, there arranged by someone in Head Office who works off what each division requests and what there is spare throughout the nationwide company. If they were going to send a bus back because it's not got more than 3 months MOT then it's something else, whoever organises the movement will be well aware of what requires doing to the vehicle and a usually when a vehicle arrives at it's new division, it's then 100% down to them to deal with, if it's due MOT or inspection, it's there bus now after all. As for the amount of work required to a newly introduced vehicle, something else is wrong there. If it's in an awful condition and management see that, then the work would be carried out at it's new depot but come out of its old depots budget, there's a lot more that goes on behind the scenes than people think.
