Unreliable Scania L94UAs / CC CB60 Combos

Post by BusFan23 »

From what I can tell, the Scania L94UAs with Custom Coaches CB60 Combo bodies are quite unreliable. I know of 4 breaking down since the beginning of 2021, and we are only 1.5 months in.

#952 (TT St. Agnes) - Handbrake
#951 (TT St. Agnes) - Centre door (would not close)
#963 (TT Morphettville) - Front door (opening while driving, then would not close)
#1001 (TT St. Agnes) - Driver's seatbelt

Does anyone else know of these buses breaking down and being unreliable?

Three of those "faults" would be unrelated to the chassis make.

And none of them are exactly unusual for any make of bus chassis/ body.

Something of a "nothing story" is this - as said, 3 of the 4 listed faults are body problems and having operated buses, are common!

What you have to remember mate is that these buses would have around 700,000 kms try doing that mileage in you're car and telling me there is no issues things like seatbelts are just general wear and tear

... Even on the newest buses! Actually, those seem worse for quirky body-related faults.
