My thoughts are that there were too many of them down in East Cleveland, are they always ended up on routes totally unsuitable for them.

Disgruntled customers crammed in like sardines on the X4 for example, having to swap seats, wait for buggies to be folded down, leaving people behind. Never seemed to be a pleasant journey on them. Which is a shame, because the buses themselves were probably OK if used on the type of local routes they were designed for.

At least these days it's very rare not to get a full sized bus.
