I did find the abrupt stops and starts on the old angels disconcerting but they are the original hybrids with a motor that propelled the vehicle when no hard açceleration was required. They could coast for a while before needing the extra power.

Manual Rampscare faster than lowering a bus, IME. You can lower a bus and it might still not meet the curb. Fine for me with a shuffle foot and heavy bags (forgot to wave to the wild jimmi, earlier, while I think on) but useless on wheels. The driver of the castles express I caught from Newcastle, this morning, had the ramp down for a wheelchair and back up again in a matter of seconds each each.

He also had lead feet, but at least he had better people skills than the driver of the half eightish bus into Newcastle.
