Okay, firstly how does WiFi and plugs being turned off help, I don't understand where you're coming from here?
Also, 7501-13 were built with high backed seats, and I don't imagine that the weight of the NSA system, a WiFi box, and the plugs will add too much weight, at most equivalent to an extra passenger? I'm unsure on this point, but I think the refurbished Pulsars handle alright?
Econospeed should help them out, and I doubt whether 7522-40 will be struggling in a few years time, most if not all of 7514-21 are good, which are only a year and a half younger than the 57 plate sheds.
Reading this back, it sounds a tad like a rant, it wasn't intended in that way. Additionally, it also sounds I'm a tad anti-E400, I'll be the first to admit at this point last year I probably was, but after experiencing the '09 batch, and 7522-33, that view has changed drastically, and I now quite enjoy my time on them, as modern deckers go, they've got to be up there.
Furthermore, this is going to sound unbelievably hypocritical I know, but occasionally, and I mean occasionally, I've had very good journeys on 7501-9, certain ones are shot, but others are very good vehicles on their day, 7503 is a good example of this
