Much preferred the Stagecoach Enviro 300 I got from Hexham to Carlisle, high backed seats and free WiFi on offer as well.
Slipperiness was the major issue at first but now I can barely manage more than half an hour sat on one because the leather has worn down so far it's not dissimilar to a bench!
Given the two I'd rather have the E300s even though they seem to be two of the worst ones of the build in the country - there are various other ADL 64 plates that have more guts to them.
Cheers for the info, Scott.
