Every time I'm on an X34 they really don't feel as quick as Volvo deckers, although granted, I drive the Volvos, and I've only ever been a passenger on E400s. However they do feel like they really struggle on the A184, which I've never experienced in any bus I've driven myself.

They're 10 year old and have Voith gearboxes fitted rather than ZF which is the preferred gearbox for endurance, high speed and distance work.

Arriva's classic E400s at Ashington fly down Fisher Lane & A1 on the X14/X15/X18/X21/X22
