Horrible - They look nice with the livery on, i will say that... try looking at them without the vinyls.
Cheap - The Castles Express ones i thought were lovely at first but the feel of them just seems a bit cheap and nasty.
Unreliable - One or two are running like a shed, and apparently at least one broke down on Saturday.
Plasticy - I still think the inside just has a cheap feel compared to other buses in the fleet.
HOWEVER if i had to choose between the current B9's and new Streetdecks, it would be streetdecks by miles.
Also has GNE failed to notice the awful crackling noise coming predominantly from the top right corner of the top deck of ALL the current TTX B9's when they are at speed?
Nothing can be done about it, Its what id call a design flaw with the Gemini 2s, I believe its due to the way the air vents are designed, Which results in the wind flying past at high speed and into the vent tubes, Causing the crackling noise your describing.
