I've not actually had a ride of a Temsa Avenue before though, so hopefully they're not worse...!

Thanks for the info, Tony. Smile

Trust me, this is bad news - the Temsas may have the power but their seats are awful! I'd rather have the now-withdrawn 1757 and its Urban90 seats to Scarborough than suffer a Temsa!

Oh god, don't say that!
What's the capacity like on them? I've been on a Omni before and it's had standees to the front (don't know if that's regular with the 93/X93s?), and that was horrid all the way to Whitby nevermind Scarborough... If the Temsas have a higher seating capacity, I'd take uncomfortable seat over no seat.

Compared to the OmniCitys, Temsas seat 2 more but will still end up with standees. I've been on a Prestige before with a standing load from Whitby to Middlesbrough (and I had to suffer standing all the way) that seats the same as an OmniCity. Hence the need for Deckers on the busiest workings.
