I think the main problem I have is the emergency exit rattles but I've seen bempacks fix them up. The disabled bay pole is also a nightmare, but other than those two caveats no issues at all from me. Fast, reliably warm and fairly comfortable.

Seeif you can get some overtime at Deptford and try driving them up Houghton Cut. Manage the slip-road fine. Then it would be quicker getting out and walking (probably less whiplash too ) 
The engine management on them is shocking. 

I've stuck the internal measurements on here previously. 
Those few mm's saved in material and fuel costs may look good on a balance sheet somewhere, possibly a bit better than the view passengers get on a crowded, sweaty Streetlite.

I've said similar in the past. 
Always hoped there would be a Streetlite 2, like the National. 
I'm still hoping...

Totally agree that they will need replacing in the end, just can't help feeling that these rumoured changes are too soon and the suggested replacement not good enough.
