After driving this bus for the second time in service today all I can say is wow. It is far more superior than the MMC's. Feels more powerful, smooth acceleration. Brakes take a bit of getting used to but you have more control over slowing down and stopping. The interlock all be it a puzzle is actually quite quick to get off and faster than the MMC's. It is by far the best bus I have ever had the pleasure to drive, if it were up to me I would replace the whole Pensnett fleet with these.

The only thing I liked about the MMC's was the heating system , it warms up fast......... That is nothing compared to 3301, turn the heating up full in this and it's like being in Barbados. Fuel consumption wise, I'd say it's pretty good. Having left the garage this morning with 100% it still had 61% left when I handed over to my relief not long ago. Unfortunately my relief driver wasn't type trained and has now gone back to garage with 4193 taking its place.

Overall 10/10

@pndriver... wow, that much of an impression, huh?

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Yeah, it's got a whine like a metrobus when you slow down too
