Passengers - Bus Reviews & Opinions

4671 (11A) - I quite liked this bus ! I got on at Swan Centre, Yardley and got off an Vicarage Road, Kings Heath. I had time to kill so I figured I'll learn the route as I meant potentially end driving it ! The bus got some good speeds, although I felt as though it was capable of going faster. It was a nice smooth ride. Thumbs up for more Geminis at AG !

4486 - Reminded me of that Beach Boys song - Good Vibrations.

I think 4105 was a brilliant bus at Walsall Garage.
Nice Engine, Smooth Ride, Nice Suspension, Nice and Clean. Only negative the doors creaked shut so I'll give it a 9.5/10

4033 was another good President At Walsall Garage
Nice Engine, Comfy and Clean Old Moqutte, Fast, No Rattles, Fast Quick Doors and Nice Suspension. 10/10

I think 4734 is the best Envrio 400
It is fast, nice suspension, Very good Doors, Comfy Seats and Warm. 10/10

I think the best Dennis Trident is 4125
It is Very Fast and is good runner 10/10 

The Best Scania Omnilink is 1844
It is nice and overall a good Scania Omnilink 10/10

The Worst buses are 1887, and 4600
1887 is the worst Omnilink horrible engine, slow and rattles a lot. 6/10

4600's engine is slow and horrible the interior is dirty and the livery a mess.5/10

No rattles?!

I'm sorry but unless they've given 4033 a transplant,  I beg to differ. 4033 was one of the worst ones for rattling when I drove it, and I've driven it around 10 times from what I remember. The cab door and window used to rattle like mad. Enough to give one a headache!

When I rode it didn't rattle.

This is the difference between passengers opinions and drivers opinions.
I remember years ago someone on the old wmbus forum saying 4236 was a fast bus, but I had drove it a few days earlier and found it sluggish.

4114- what a a wonderful bus that is. Interior in very good condition.

Relatively quick and no vibrations.

Probably why it sold so quickly!

4928- was hoping for a 48** branded bus so when this turned up I was a little disappointed. However this bus was not too bad. Interior in Good condition. Acceleration not the best, struggled a little bit up hill- not as bad as expected overall. 7/10

4931- this one was very similar to above. Did seem slower than 4928. 6/10

Overall not bad buses- are these the worst e400s or are there worse??

They've grown on me massively, I think I like them better than their Euro 4 equivalents, don't seem to be popular among drivers on here, from what I've seen

Just ridden 4599 on the 10A today and I must say it has been improved from where saw the tatty looking thing on the 41 before It got branded
Engine Smooth Quick sounds like a trident now not an Envrio. 10/10
Interior Now deep cleansed and tidy 10/10
Exterior  looks much better  now 10/10
Suspension the occasional rattle 9.5/10
Doors nice and Quick 10/

Then later rode 4544 on a 79 to West Bromwich
Engine Smooth and driver could really gun it if he wanted too but he was a slow one 10/10
Interior Nice, clean and bright inside only problem some scumbag decided to chuck dirty tissues and Burger Wrappers on the backseat.
Exterior looks like it has been repainted and love the wood instead of the Ad's on the frame on the bonnet.
Suspension I could feel the bumps on Dangerfield lane yet I could also feel them in my mates Jaguar no rattles 10/10
Doors Quick and Do not creek 10/10
