The last time I used one was probably around 6 years ago when they would appear on the 50. They were not bad to travel on back then. Have they deteriorated badly or something over the last few years? Just wondering why they are hated so much. Cheers
They are unreliable, juddering, overheating, slow, lumbering pieces of junk. The condensation created inside literally floods the seats, they leak like the Titanic after it hit the iceberg, they are too hot inside and handle roads about as well as a Tiny Tikes car.
Oh and the seats are paperthin, there's no legroom and they quite frankly smell weird
I'm sure some of them were rather pleasant when they did that airport work. A few years of being battered up and down the wilds and wannies of County Durham and Newcastle Bank have done them in
