4744 - seems to have its mileage reset. Love how the upper deck bells have the ALX400 bell sound! Surprised to hear it

4969 - A rocket! Flew up city road. My first time on one of the 74 branded ones, thought it'd be a tired slug

4744 probably a new speedo fitted

Could be, the speedo gauge is a different colour than usual

Forgot to also review 6815. Painfully slow, especially uphill, but a pleasure to have especially over a boring 68 or 19 plate

6814 , 421,000 miles on clock at time of driving , new steering wheel and cab seat, a slug on level rd, but flies up hill, overall decent bus other than flat level performance.

1835 excellent scania in all areas , lovely cruiser , couldn't careless about passenger comfort not my problem, from drivers point of a view spot on

6817 not as characterful as other members of the batch but not slow and still nice sounding. 397k on the clock, the Sutton branded ones seem to average around 415k

Except, until recently this was part of the Sutton brand'

We've got a few buses like that at BC, annoying

4481 at long last a B7, haven't had one in ages. The driver I took over from warned me that it's slow. There's some truth to that, it's very very slow taking off, especially on inclines. I had almost zero power when stopped at the incline junction at Burnt Tree towards Dudley, took me a good 15 seconds to take off. An absolute rocket when it gets moving though. A lot of the B7s are like that, very slow moving off but the opposite when it gets going

4738 The only 47 that I didn't drive. Not a good one, very slow and has sensor issues. For some reason the speedo is km on this one

6805 Very very fast! Revs highly out of first gear making it very quick off the mark

Greetings, Looks like the Over lords are going shuffle some routes about in March PB52 to WB & WB3 to PN 3A to stay at WB
i wonder if PB52 will interwork with WB5 route after route alterations i presume,  msg i saw being done for business reasons etc

4744 - it's amazing how different a bus can be after just a month or two. This was rapid the last time I had it, now it's a horrible slug, jolty and brakes terribly.

4690 - Quick but very rough. 

4479 - Lovely bus to drive. Smooth, quick, good brakes, excellent suspension. With one or two exceptions the ex PB Geminis are lovely to drive, much better than those ex Coventry Voith ones

The 44xx batch of Geminis are one of the best buses that have graced the NX fleet.

was the revs due to throttle pumping or simply putting ur foot down? 

or is it remapped to rev higher than the others or normal?

What do YW  and WA drivers think about tridents? Is driving them a good experience or are you happy they're going?
