2096 is my favorite b7

I don't know how u can have a favourite B7, they all seem the same to me. I know yours are older but still...

No most of ours are 12-plate i.e. same batch as yours. I must say the 12-plates at PN feel faster and louder than the 61-plates at WN

Really? I thought it would've been opposite way round. I do have to say though when the radiator fan spins full speed, they have a somewhat President-esque sound to it. Nice though, even if you can't hear yourself speak when it spins.

Today,

4801 - 276
1892 - 39
4021 - 255
1650 - 2
2083 - 243/4

5510 replaced 4021 on the 255 at Wolverhampton around 17:30. Rode it on the full 255 this evening, leaving Wolverhampton around 17:35 and arriving at Merry Hill about 18:55. Ridiculous to have a B5 going along all those narrow country lanes!

Why is it ridiculous? No different to a Spectra.

I was thinking that, Tony. They're the same dimensions virtually.

Let me rephrase it for him, it was very strange riding a B5 through the country lanes( Not very common and we are used to trident)

You say narrow, how so?

Narrow enough to think a bus route would go down there. Feels like your somewhere like Wales with fields and farmland
