(23 Feb 2014, 6:08 pm)Marcus wrote I walked past Chester depot today and saw 4931 in the midst of the regular Sunday vehicles. It was still in a bad way, although it appeared to have a rear panel placed back on. It is rumored to be up and running again soon, but I can't exactly say it hasn't gone unnoticed. You see, the 50 has 6 branded vehicles for it, as you know, and most of the time before the reliable Omnicities started to arrive, I mean there were 3 Solars on and 3 Deckers on, so to speak. Those 6 Solars have to be amongst the worst within the entire fleet. From what you have observed, if you had to choose one vehicle from each depot that was by far the worst, what would you say?
Here is mine:
Chester - 4928
Crook - 6021
Stanley - 3814
Riverside - 5339
Peterlee - 4909 (although it's due to go into the reserve fleet)
Washington - 529
Percy Main - 3859
Deptford - 3981
Hexham - 8293
you joking Solars in my opinion are the best in the fleet they have always been one of my favourite buses i've been on 3859 on 9 and it is a powerhorse 6021 is powerful enough 3814 is a workhorse 5339 is ok never upsets me when am on it 4909 has a loud roar 3981 is a canny ride out 8293 lovely bus when i went on it once to Hexham took me 2 hours to get there best views and nice ride out i would say worse buses are SPDs and early renowns i kinda like 4928 nice solar 529 worse banger Saltmeadows worse bus now is 547 was 564
