I ay an expert but I'm guessing the 2015 MMC's feel better to drivers as they feel more powerful? And also maybe the Stop Start technology on the Voiths is a faff to keep restarting the engine at every bus stop? Whereas with a ZF it's Doors Closed Brakes released and off you go

4477 still going great from my point of view, punters took one look at it on the 82/87s and thought no and catch the USELESS bus behind me, bonus for me :smiley:
I'm glad to know that the the 82/87 is so incredibly reliable and frequent that your passengers have the luxury of letting a bus they 'don't like the look of' go past them for the one behind.

Each to there own eh,  I love getting old buses on main corridors, it's like you have some sort of disease when you turn up, the facial expressions just priceless.
I bet Gemini in platinum livery would look ace though, shame will never see one .
