I think I prefer it lookswise to the Streetdeck, which I still find myself unable to warm to.
Has anyone been on it(/one) yet to see how it performs in comparison to the B5TL/Streetdeck/E400 MMC?
I rode it whilst it was with First South Yorkshire on service X78 between Sheffield and Doncaster and I didn't think it was too bad, I actually preferred it to the StreetDeck's that were used on that route at the time. Don't sit at the back downstairs though as the seats aren't comfortable and if I remember correctly there is a heater above that back window. E400MMC's are still my favourite of the current double decker's though.
Will try and catch it tomorrow for another ride to get a better opinion of it.
