CDC Melbourne (Wyndham) W96 2003 Volvo B12BLE (Volgren CR228L bodywork)

UPDATE: This bus has been decommissioned and is due to be scrapped soon
Today I took a ride on CDC Melbourne (Wyndham) W96 which is a 2003 Volvo B12BLE with Volgren CR228L bodywork. You may remember this bus from me riding it around last year and it wasn't in the best condition (That awful screeching/grinding sound coming from the engine). After filming the original video the bus all of a sudden disappeared and it was not seen ever since, but I got told by a driver that this bus was on the hoist in the workshop and it was being fixed so it will be coming back soon. So when I was at Werribee one day I saw that this was was running again on route 441 so I decided to catch it and I was shocked to see that it is still the same condition as before(almost)
Yea so pretty much nothing got fixed on this bus except for that grinding sound which was most likely the engine fan clutch malfunctioning but everything else is the same. Broken aircon and that high pitched ringing sound which is somehow worse than before, and then a few days later after I rode this bus I got told that it broke down AGAIN due to a loss of air pressure.
This is pretty much the worst bus I have been on so far, W83 is also another bus in bad condition but atleast it runs better than this (except for when its idling...) and has a working AC!
Also because this was the first CR228L bodied bus delivered to the original Werribee depot I wished that it would have been in better condition.
Anyway Enjoy!
