Travelled on those hybrids a lot when they were new on the 21, and they were far superior to anything else that had been on there, at that time. I personally loved them!
They were! I completely forgot about that. Even then apart from the section between Chester and Durham that’s a pretty much stop start route, especially with how busy it is. I don’t know who thought putting them on the X5/15 and 16/A with its steep hills was a good idea.
