I was also disappointed to hear a clunking sound from the front suspension of VWL154 yesterday, all the First Volvos in my area make the exact same sound, but the Bus Éireann ones never used to. I can only assume that the unreliability of the DDs is impacting on maintenance of the other buses in the fleet. It's a pity that standards have dropped, especially as Capwell no longer have the unreliable VC300s to deal with (yes I know they still have a lot of them, but only on schools, so they're not going to take up anything like as much time as they used to when they were far more intensively used as road passenger coaches).
