Well that's too bad for you eh?
Cos the other depot's laying up the MKIII except HGDEP.
The time will come soon though,
I also dare say the MKIII would find good use as 2nd hand buses.
They are so durable! You want them to leave, but the fact was
that few other types achieved the same unenviable depreciation
record and certainly not on the same scale as the MKIII which
number 300....which is no small number. The first MKIII that went to the chops did so
because of lifespan limit and not because of accident/fire
etc.
And if you don't appreciate it, then I would pay tribute now to
the HGDEP folks who have gotten me from point A to B in relative
comfort...on Volvos and the MKIIIs. A wonderful job and I've
enjoyed my time spent with the MKIIIs.
You feel the MKIII is crappy.
But I believe many here (who take long-haul services like me)
would agree with me that the MKIIIs deserve better comments. MKIII
ain't as fast, but they certainly haul their loads quietly and
with very little trouble.
some people just do not appreciate the retiring MKIIIs.
sosad.
