Least Favourite Bus (NXWM or Otherwise)

Generally the new Volvo B5TLs / B5LHs... They look like a mess!

When picture 1 was loading and pixel-ized, I thought it was a badly repaired and panelled Metrobus!

Picture 2, is that a window in the staircase well on the offside? What an absolute mess. I truly hate that disgusting body!

LETS START A PROTEST! WHEYYYY... Lol. Jk. I actually don't mind the staircase windows. It only irks me how they DON'T have them following up ALONG the stairs like the NBfLs. Its looks so mismatched, and personally i'd be hitting the walls, had it not been for my favourite Lothian Livery... Lothian makes any bus look decent, but this can be an exception... why did they change it? It's greatest downfall (to me), however, believe it or not, are the extra LEDs under the headlights... They are out of place than any other part of the bus, why, just why? Volvo/Wrightbus might at least have made another whole bus to accommodate for their s***ty 'revolution'. ::) I'd call it the Volvo B5HIT... (Excuse my foul language  :P)

Probably the B6LE's that NXWM had, they were stupidly cramped and underpowered. Also never been a fan of any bendi-buses either, they just seem to take up more room and have minimal benefits over a decker.

I don't mind that B6's but I hate it when they put them on WN59 (Double deck operated) usually on peak boards! Gets very cramped indeed like yesterday when 626 did the afternoon extra peak bus

Haha, excellent!

I'm sure the B'5HIT' will will be a massive hit with our friends in Slavecoach or WorstBus or Never Arrivers, but I'm glad none are on order for National Distress...

Let's hope they keep it that way. Wrightbus? More like 'Wrong'bus by the looks of it now...  :D (I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner!)

I have to personally hate the Volvo B10L Liberators. Hot, rattly and just horrible.

@P419 EJW thought I'd draw your attention to this! ;)

For me, least favourites at NXWM are the 44**/46** Tridents, any Omnilinks and Enviro200s.

[trident4370]

The b10ls are the best buses we have!

Whaaaaat?! B10Ls are the best buses!!! They might be prone to heat but still reliable than the new crappy new B7RLEs!

<highfive> See, he has great taste. :P

I agree I miss them on the 71/72 :)

Come to Dundee and you will enjoy them. We have the P reg and R reg. Mostly on the Whitfield, Kirkton & St Marys.

I have to agree with @Matt, the B7RLEs and Enviro 200s I hate. I do like Scania Enviro 300, Volvo B5TL (Lothian spec) and the Omnilink. Oh and never forget the Transbus Trident! Not too fond of the Dennis version, you get the beastage out of the Transbus.

Our Voith Transbus Tridents at Wolverhampton Garage are pretty good. The BV52's are great sounding also

I always prefer the more modern, 4 speed voith gearbox over the older 3 speed one. For instance, see this video of an old Volvo Citybus which has had a Trident-esque 4 speed voith gearbox fitted
