They've just got to be set up correctly, is all. In ten years time, a Mercedes Citaro would be doing far better off than a Streetlite, I'd imagine, but never mind.
Ireland - not Scotland!
That's the point though about lightweight vehicles being used on heavyweight work. Good when new but even with loads of maintenance, they will start to die after 3-4 years. Still think that despite B&H getting Streetdecks, GNE will go for the E400MMC body for future double deck orders with either the Volvo B5TL chassis or ADL / Cummins chassis for most double deck work and for the more demanding double deck routes, the Scania Euro 6 chassis.
