However the Diamond examples on the X30 when they appear they struggle with gear choice on Dunston Bank which the red Kite examples don't. I have experience in driving the earlier Streetlites from the C & C and Red Kites, which i find are very uncomfortable, cab rattles, cab window rattles, heating is on some examples intermittent (turn some off after 2 hours driving and the heating goes completely cold, taking 30-45 mins to return), slow on the hills and the reversing is nothing short of embarrassing.
