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 £400 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 £1000 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.
