CDC Melbourne (Wyndham) W83 2001 Volvo B7L (Volgren CR221L bodywork)

Today I took a ride on CDC Melbourne (Wyndham) W83 which is a 2001 Volvo B7L with Volgren CR221L bodywork. Out of all the CDC Wyndham buses I have ridden this is the worst one,
Maintenance wise: this bus is f**ked. Its in really bad condition and I'm surprised this hasn't been retired yet even though its twins (W84 and W86) have been retired years ago. The engine idles so badly that the driver has to rev it to keep it from stalling, also funny smoke blower this thing is XD.
Its sad to see older buses like these be so neglected by such a big company who clearly doesn't give a crap about safety for their customers (COUGH COUGH W96, W83, W226, W22 and the rest of their buses)
Enjoy!
