Power is irrelevant as you need to look at the power to weight ratio. A heavy high powered bus is just as good as a light low powered bus.
What about them struggling in Edinburgh though? The B9TL climbs hills well. On the Cradlewell by pass towards Corner House, the DB300 doesn't pick up pace as well as the B9TL and despite when the fact the B5LH engine engages after a short stint, it still doesn't pick up pace as well as the B9TL.
