@Stagecoach16281 these vaps used to run the 23 service from leigh park to southsea before september 2008 when they were replaced by enviro 300s. I can't remember much about these buses actaully but by looking at this video i bet they're great to drive and quick too!!

@benmartin2 im not sure which ones but we have on 1 330 on the road lol 54 is falling apart getting old, 56 is ok but it got bad after a BAD crash in sidlesham on the 51 route, 57 no probs just a 330 break down, 58 the throttle line keeps breaking, 59 fine just keeps breaking down, 61 we cool the bounce - my anty works at chichester depot so i get to no all of this stuff - they need to get rid of them soo they are falling apart and i think it was 61 which sayed on the road !!
