4709 one the the better ones to drive in that batch , even after its disagreement with a large tree.

4709 was my favourite of the batch as a spotter/passenger.

Saw 4702 and 11 on the 80, 4700/07 on 83/89 and 4713 on the 5. Apparently they're supposed to all be off service this weekend?

They are going to Dundee. 708/9 are already up there.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

Yes, I saw them getting transferred. But people seem to dislike them, why?

Cammy is from Dundee. I've never travelled on one and never will but from a passenger perspective I'm sure I'd find it hard to tell them from any other NX B7TL Gemini. Maybe drivers might feel differently.

There are quite a few differences, the blue interior, the different doors, the cab, the A/C on the back of the top deck, slightly different vents from the back and some more.

I was referring more to the quality of the ride, comfort etc rather than aesthetics.

They're not much different in comfort and ride from my perspective.

The cabs are the same as 1750-87, but a passenger as opposed to a busnut looking for differences isn't going to tell the difference between 4700-17 & 7001-18

I don't like the 1750-1787 style dash seems backwards how the instrument cluster doesn't adjust with steering wheel. Feel like the steering wheel is blocking the speedo

Nothing, just not as good as the early Geminis, do have a tendency to roar
