Although all these taxi type low floor mini bus type things are usually terrible, I remember riding Central Coaches Renault Master Rohill Harrier or whatever the hell it was called round Newton Aycliffe on the 116 and I remember being violently flung in the air going down a slightly bumpy road, it's what I imagine it would be like bouncing on a bouncy castle on tow, it was awful - the people of School Aycliffe almost lost most of their bus services and we're not really thankful for having to ride that donkey round the town.
If you're free during the week Jimmi, get a 21 to Chester Moor (you know where that is, don't you?) then just wait for the shuttle to see for yourself. Obviously opinions differ, but I would give the Bluebird I rode today maybe 5/10, 6/10 if lucky. Obviously a different Bluebird may appear over the course of the week.
