Mark 3s are more spacious due to the Mark 4 having a curved bodyshell, Which was supposed to house the Tilting equipment.
Crosscounrtys Voyagers haven't had a refurbishment since new, Apart from the First Class area.

I do find the lack of a voyager refurbishment obvious, the voyagers just have coffee stains everywhere I find.
As for the Mark 4s I just dislike the design, I find the Mark 3s have more room, not yet been on a refreshed virgin mark 4 but I have had a refurbished HST which even better for me was diveted via Yarm and Sunderland
I know I'm a bit late for this. But I'm Brian from South Shields who loves to ride on buses and collect tickets. I prefer Go North East and Stagecoach North East as well as most indipendant operators. London Underground and train enthusiast too.

Welcome to the site and look forward to seeing your contributions.
Hello all,
I have just joined and wanted to introduce myself, I am a big fan of the bygone era page as it showcases vehicles from the past which played a big part in developement of 21st century travel. That's all, Thank you.
Hello I'm Ray
Long time lurker with a lifetime interest in buses.
Now long retired and don't get around as I used to.
Grandfather worked for the Northern at Park Lane depot.
I have a large amount of bus books for disposal.
They are free to a good home if anyone wants them.
I have just joined this morning. I didn't even have to wait for my application to be approved.
My main areas of familiarity for buses are the North West, West Yorkshire and London. I already belong to the relevant bus forums.
My favourite operator local to this forum is Go North East. Arriva also have some good Sapphire & Max stock and have provided enjoyable cascaded London buses too.
As an aside, I sometimes listen to Lisa Shaw and Mel Crawford on BBC Radio Newcastle online!
I shall read these pages in more detail and comment further in January. Happy New Year everyone!
