You're telling me they had a hard life? they went past my house every 20 mins, every day for 16 years! Poor old things, engines, diffs, gearboxes and body work were all shot when they were withdrawn. Only Y549UJC left now. The Stagecoach ones are 5 or so years newer which helps but I don't know if they are any more corrosion resistant than the arriva ones or whether they just have an easier life.
