Ever since it was transferred to 325, the BCs tend to drive it
slowly [ I don't know ].
The rear door has some hydraulic issues.
Plus 2 months time left.
Plus most of the parts it had is no longer in reproduction or is
not suitable for these Mk3 buses.
Plus it had an accident.
Did you saw it on the roads?
@lemon, Yes I saw it getting towed into the direction of HGDEP.
I'm not trying to shoot you (in case you think I am), but you do
know the bus is not back out on the roads is because the
authorities and people at SBST need to investigate who caused the
crash and then inspect the damage?
And as you said, it's only a minor crash with headlights
cracked. If the bus goes up in flames or has serious drivetrain or
chassis issues like holes in the chassis, then yeah I wouldn't be
surprised if it goes laid-up. Hydraulics with the rear doors is not
something they can't fix within a day in the workshop to be honest.
Rear doors fail everytime, but most of the buses with such problems
are back on service the next day.
Furthermore, yes most of the parts are not in production
anymore. But you do know that the various depots do keep the dozens
of deregistered Mk3s from the previous 2 months in their depot till
now? Those Mk3s are deregistered, but not yet scrapped. There's an
abundance of spare parts to take from them if any of the Mk3s has a
minor crash like what you said. So the 'parts not in production
anymore 
laid-up' assumption you have here is
simply not valid.
If they really do lay-up the bus as you say it is, that means
the bus has inherent drivetrain issues that can't be solved. Not
any of those issues you mentioned.
