A bus will do that mileage and more everyday and needs those checks daily, and as you say the equivilent of an MOT every month, or in BorderBus's case every 21 days..Steve Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852377706742868978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-34775135400174519412015-04-17T23:29:09.267+01:002015-04-17T23:29:09.267+01:00Quite an interesting set of posts Steve, well done...Quite an interesting set of posts Steve, well done to Border Bus for inviting you along and showing you around.
