They're a bit slow on steep banks, but are quite comfortable and are capable of keeping to schedule...
You must be lucky with the Presidents as all the ones I've had on the 15/15A have not been great, last time I had 6014 it couldn't do anymore than 15mph. Although some of my awful experiences on them are things such there being no heating on cold days. The best ex London President's I have been on are probably the examples based at Chester-le-Street although I quite enjoyed a ride on 6020 on the X20 one night and I think this is now my favourite ex London President.
