IF the tracking records are to be believed, this StreetDeck has been out of service for a month now.
IF that's correct, I'd like to know what's wrong with it -- -- it's a bit worrying with it being such a young vehicle !
-- Any feedback would be appreciated !

While on the subject of vehicles off the road, the bus tracker also suggests that like 35159, Solo 53207 hasn’t been out in service since 30th March!

Don’t know about the StreetDeck, but I do know the Solo suffered a big engine failure a few weeks ago.

Ah, Thanks Adam!
Am I right In saying that 53207 got a new engine fitted at WR before it entered Service (I remember it was sat waiting for something but cannot remember if it was the whole engine that it needed or just parts of some sort)

It was a whole engine. The original was seized and damaged beyond repair. It didn’t get a new one, I think it had the one from another Worcester vehicle that had previously failed and been refurbished.
