4051 - This one is a beast. Only driven it a couple times before, and had it recently. Gets to 30 pretty quick. Out did some Pershore Road Enviros, although I was late and getting a move on. The steering wheel felt alright, might have been the fact that its worn a bit, and I find steering wheels that a worn in a bit to be easy to maneuverer, rather than the fresh ones. Brakes are also pretty good on it. The power delivery is smooth, unlike 4023 which sometimes revs high, then judders into the next gear. The cab felt very small as usual, after having my first portion in a Gemini. A lot of drivers prefer the Plaxtons to anything else here. (I say anything else, but there's not much choice is there!) All in all though, one of the best Plaxtons here.

4510 - This ones a bit crap to be honest. It revs to the higher 2300ish RPM like most the others, but feels like theres something straining it, and thus lacking power.

4511 - This one is pretty smooth. Doesn't rev as high as 4510 (doesn't have click on bottom of pedal), but it feels more powerful and quicker.

One thing that p*sses me off when I've got a 45** is the damn heating controls. Some of them are hard to adjust. The 46**s are so much better designed.
Is 4061 any good
