Can remember, with regards to the P-CCU batch, that 7410/3 were seriously good, found 7412 a bit slow at times though. I remember one incident where I boarded a late running 7410, it overtook everything on the A1, including a brand new Gemini and a boat load of cars.
The V-DJR Primas were brilliant too! On the X20 it was overtaking cars, lorries and vans, never in my life had I gone that fast on a bus!
