It's the first 04 reg one I've been on for a long journey and it felt quite different to the 03 examples - that one does have a softer, less pain inducing suspension.The only other deckers which aren't over 10 years old are B5s and B9s though, don't forget. Don't see what else there is to serve on Stanley's decker routes.
Given the deterioration of some of them, getting B&H's cast offs does feel like more of a short term fix for a rather yellow problem than something to see GNE through the next 5 years with an up to date fleet. Hopefully the next big purchase might update the Angels and TTX, which will relegate the better Omnidekkas to where the Lolynes and Presidents are now. Not that the cascades off either of those services would be suitable for the Newcastle-Stanley services.
