Favourite/least favourite Type of bus
(28 Jul 2015, 8:26 pm)tyresmoke Quite funny that you don't rate the Streetlites. I've found they're better as a passenger than they are as a driver... So imagine what we feel like! I've noticed they have an awful burning smell when pushed a bit though?!
Citaros are good fun when they're being abused, routes like the X7 are good for that.
I can see why you'd like Pulsars, even if they're a bit numerous now... We've got 130 in the NE fleet now I reckon!
It's crazy to think how many types I've driven in my (relatively short) career but I'd rate the B10BLEs highly! Not forgetting Olympians of course!

(16 Mar 2016, 9:25 pm)NK53 TKT No, I like some. 5391-5394 are BAD. Arriva ones except 1583 are BAD. All others are great. The engines are like those in terms of sound as an MPD in a wayApart from Arriva's 1583 and Go North East's 5376, every Streetlite I've been on has been c**p.
(16 Mar 2016, 10:01 pm)Davie Yeah 5390 is decent. I very rarely use the Q3 (Once when 3859 was on) so I'm not sure what them Versa's are like.
