I think build quality dropped from the high standard associated with Wright around the end of the first generation of Eclipse vehicles, but was generally okay until the start of Gemini 3/Streetlite/Streetdeck where it nosedived and got even worse when they were in financial difficulty.
Not sure if it was in this thread or another, but someone shared a picture of a Handybus the other day.
I had flashbacks to the horror.
Nationals -> Deltas -> Lance's -> Lynxes -> Dart derivatives like the Handybus.
Awful downward spiral over a 10 year period imo.
Quite how the salesmen at Wright convinced bus operators to take anything else from Ballymena after those things...
Those Pathfinders and Renowns were a huge step up to what had been churned out previously.
