Just sound rough as hell when idling (much like Varios...!) but they should be reliable at least. I'm hoping this is what Darlington will get in the future with Arriva, I'm starting to favour the SR design, which of course is now standard!
I agree Scott, even though they are new and sound smooth when moving, they do sound like a bag of spanners idling! Sound just like a ten year old one, don't know if that's good or bad thing...! Cummins/Voith driveline would have been interesting for GNE to invest in.
