(21 Feb 2021, 12:17 pm)mb134 From my experience when travelling, I found the first generation of Eclipse bodywork (Urbans/Solars/Geminis) very solid. The second generation things started to go downhill, albeit nowhere near as badly as they did once the "Street" line of products entered production. Quality control on quite a few batches of Streetlites were horrendous, the ones First have here are beyond awful. 

The newest batch of Streetdecks for GNE seem put together well, as do the new Streetdecks up here for First, so it seems like Bamford has helped in improving standards (helps if they're using money for parts, rather than donations to a church mind).

The 16 plate StreetDecks are pretty hit and miss, even the same bus on a different day can feel way different!
The 67 plate StreetDecks, for the mostpart anyway, are pretty solid. There's a few bad ones but on the whole they're pretty good. Same with the 67 plate B5s, some are solid, some you'd think they were made by ADL.
The 20/70 plates are definitely better.

Most of the StreetLites I've used have been alright, as long as you're on the move. It's when they're sitting idling that they feel like they're falling to bits. I really would have thought they'd have sorted that rear door out by now. They've been 'looking into it' for years at this point.
