Y Reg : Very good
51 Reg: alright but a few have old style slipped ZF gearboxes which makes this batch a bit more interesting
02 Reg : Very rare to ride as there's only 4 of them
52 Reg : Second best,have these every day on the 88 and still running smooth
53 Reg : not bad,but some have been finished by the curse of the prince bishops!
54 Reg : mostly awful , though some are still good most have again been cursed by the prince bishops
55 Reg : Great but one has a broken emissions thing as once I arrived in Hexham I was more than half dead!
all scanias perform well in my opinion they are a rather decent bus although before the highwayman brand came onto the scanias the Y reg ones the interiors looked hideous and needed a refurb now they look immaculate thanks to Thornton Brothers i've ridden on a few examples before but the 5 at Hexham have decent ones for Tynedale Links plus the Northern spare

or will they struggle up that road aswell?!!
Scanias are the best bus around one of my favourites the MPDs are the worse only decent one is 569 had that on an unlucky day literally which was Friday December 13th 2013
