I might try and go on the 8/78 one day just to see what they are like for long distance routes.
How long I can bare one depends on how bad it rattles, sat on some for over an hour with minimum rattles and it's not bothered me but at the same time I've been drained from a 15 minute journey by the emergency exit door shaking like mad.

Fortunate that I am usually in a position to get the X22/X24 from Durham to reach the Metro, I also often have a quick trip into Newcastle afterwards so in that case I just let the Red Kite branded examples go and get on something else.
