Not liking the Streetlite's like?

Yes I believe the ADL range were the first to be fitted, followed next by the VDL Pulsars - although we have suffered problems with getting it fitted to those, this is currently being worked on and a re-worked setting tested on a single Pulsar (Stockton's 1458)

I'm not a huge fan of the Streetlites, yes they do the job and cheaply but Sapphire was designed to be a premium brand and I think they've slipped up by buying low quality stock for it. They appear to be very reliable, though, and obviously the micro-hybrid setup produces fuel savings but I just feel they're not fit for purpose on a high spec bus route. The ride quality isn't great and they're very low to the ground, which means if you're in the front half of the bus it feels like you're riding on the road.
