The 61-plate batch were always hit & miss. 1463 is up there as one of the best buses I've driven, but some of the others (1497 springs to mind) were beyond dire. 

I'll be honest and say some of the 09 and 59s were absolute sheds too. 1408, for example, left a lot to be desired compared to 1407 and 1409.
