Storage racks above the seats too - they're fairly tall buses. Agree with previous comments about them being ideal for the 100 service. Pity they didn't take the entire batch, in lieu of not taking the MAN Enviro300s which have been acquired recently. Suppose Sunderland taking these three makes sense, with them having 40 Scania single-decks already.
Imagine reliability of them leaves a lot to be desired, as well as them being heavy on fuel, after many years of being allocated to long distance and demanding service work up in Scotland. Some of the ones I've been on have sounded rough, though all have still performed very well. My last journey on one was over a year ago now though.
Looks quite smart, i just hope they'll be able to cope on the route because they've been trashed up Scotland.
I wonder if they'll get stop announcements?
