The only decent buses Slatyford have now are the electric buses everything else is destroyed. 106s are slow and hardly any power 262s have been destroyed since they came up especially with them being on the 685 all the time. E200s are rubbish and the 260s are rubbish as well. I was on 26077 the other week and there’s hardly any power about it!!
