Wasn't expected to see them piled on top of each other! To me, they still look like they could have a few more years left in them - but obviously mechanically that is probably a different story. I have heard that Primos are not particularly reliable.
However, i'm sure I read a Buses article about Crosville a few years ago, when the Primos were the main fleet - i seem to remember them being described as economical and reliable?
IIRC, they experience issues with suspension bushes wearing out about every 6-8 weeks. Reliable? No. Economical? Perhaps on fuel but not when you factor in repairs and spare vehicles!
That’s why there’s no resale value so better off just scrapping them.
