The Artics were a novelty factor at first and it's a shame for whatever reason they haven't worked out in this part of the UK (or Malta!!)

They do seem to work out well in some cities and areas but not in others, I much preferred the Mercs over the Wright. I can see why GNE tried something different (it seemed a bit gimmicky) but Stagecoach have proven on the 100 that you need workhorse quality not flashy interiors, graphics and the like
