Myself and some colleagues were discussing the costs of replacing components of buses due to vandalism and accidents the other day. We got talking about this after i received a broken window in one of the Merc 0405 rigids, and was told by the Inspector that it would cost over Ł400 to replace. A fellow worker was telling me that he was told that the wing mirrors on some of the new Goldliner coaches cost over Ł1000 each to replace. The mirrors in question are the 'tear drop' mirrors similar to those on the new Caetano tour coaches. I think the Goldliners that were fitted with these also have toilets, although i am not sure. I was just wondering does anybody know how many of these coaches have had their mirrors replaced with conventional ones like the DAZ & EAZ Goldliners. I know GVS had a few (think 1653 & 54) and they have been replaced with ordinary mirrors.
