They're okay on quiet routes or late nights where there's not much traffic or passengers. Too much faffing about for my liking and I suspect 2900 is of the same view.Yes, way to much faffing about its excessive imo annoying as hell, the constant pressing of brake pedal.
When it has a brain fart you have to reset everything just as your about to pull away from a busy stop and get the inevitable banging on the doors etc.
I bet these ADL Enviro 400 mmc in euro 4 spec and the saloon doors interlocking spec of the 4700s would be a decent bus.
At WB we did have a short term loan of one pennsnett crimson mmc I really didn't much care for that either, the ZF box was awful
