I personally think that if you get one of the seats with more leg room, the Streetlites are more comfortable than the Volvo B10s. Had several journeys on 'em recently and was pleasantly surprised each time!

I have enough experience of them to understand that I detest them... I pity the poor souls that have done Consett-Sunderland on the 78 since the Streetplight takeover. 

In my limited experience of the seats with legroom next to the emergency door; the emergency door has rattled so much that I have resorted to physically stopping it from rattling with my foot. Appears to be common amongst the vehicle type. The amount of legroom is a bonus, however; but Streetplights do not have the ''quadrant'' seating with the great legroom that is found on Volvo B10BLEs, Scania L94UBs, and others.
