I certainly think it's better than the Streetdeck.
Had my first go on a Streetdeck at the weekend. Didn't blag a table seat unfortunately.
Although this ride seemed slow (struggled up the A1 sliproad), I have seen others overtake Omni's on the same section. It did sound and feel more powerful than the hybrids do.
I didn't rattle or sound windy, ike the B9's with the opening front/side windows tend to do.
The small windows and excess of frames are obviously for a reason, but do my head in if not in the right seat (similar to Voyagers).
Haven't been on the demo yet due to work commitments and after seeing the traffic chaos in and around Blaydon tonight, a ride on it isn't likely to be tonight!
