Those mini e200s are as bad as the fiull size ones. So ratttly and bouncy- brakes are do sharp. Who thought that these were a good investment!! Give me a dart over these. Are 732-734 different to those awful machines?? I know they have urban 90 seats?

731-734 are Dart engined E200's. They sound like Diamonds 30929. I agree with you about the diddy E200's, just horrible little sheds.

I don't understand how central and diamonds e200s are so much better than nx?? The 228 branded ex Hanson's buses are incredible compared to these little s****

I've just driven 734 350 miles and nothing wrong with it. Yes the bodywork has a few sqeaks, but that is standard on any 7 year old bus. Yes it is a bouncy ride, but that is the small wheels and short wheelbase, but the brakes are perfect, plenty of power, climbed Shap and Beattock at 50mph, and a generally pleasant vehicle

the bus is only as good as the road it goes over

6718 was in Castle Vale at Spitfire Island at about 15:13 today.
It came down the Fort Parkway, then went up the Chester Road at Spitfire Island towards Clock Garage and Hodge Hill/Castle Bromwich.
Does anyone know what it was doing?

Thought it said 6718, must have misread it then. Which platinum was at Spitfire Island then at 15:13? As its unusual to see any Platinum at Spitfire Island? Was it 6818?
