I don't agree. First Aberdeen operate 4 of them, and it seems like they're off the road more than they're on. There was about a month this year where I only saw one of the four out in service, and sometimes even that didn't appear.
Stagecoach use theirs on an 'express' route, which they apparently struggle with, on the higher speed sections.
They could have improved the design and reliability over the past couple of years, but I think an extensive trial would be needed.
Nice enough when they're working, but woefully unreliable.
