Surely if there isn't the funding, this bus could actually be in service with the rest of the ex-Airlink batch on the 16s, 41s etc. It's just a shame that nothing more can be done for now. I reckon it should be just repainted into F/S and put back on the road.I'm happy that D450 is still in service, despite the mehanical problems with it. It's a legendary bus, and it well suited to such a tour in my opinion. Though, I do realise that the upkeep of it is difficult because of its age and the difficulty in finding parts for it.
