@ntw456 3005 would of been better ;)

Personally I would have thought that 3022 would have been better going to Aylesbury along with many others of its type there and send Sapphire SB200 3796 to Cannock.
I remember a couple of years ago there was a big push to standardise vehicle types at the depots which was a great idea, it seems this is now not the case??

Bob, I've driven them. You're right. Hallelujah, I actually agree with you about something. It's weird considering they basically have the same drive train as Enviro 200s. I've had one wheel spin of me. I even experienced the random downshifts and early upshifts and then subsequently down shifts again. I'm sure it's to do with the gearbox mapping on these things.

The Daimler ones are definitely a lot better, but they have the same irritating gearbox (or gearbox settings). I find that the problem is that these things change up to early. The Cummins ones seem to have most of the power/torque at the top end of the rev range and are never able to access it because the gearbox changes up. The Daimler ones on the other hand have more power at the bottom end, meaning they're faster.

Bob

They seem to hit 2nd before theyve left the bus stn lol. Absolutely horrific . The videos got it all the screams when it over revs the jerks etc. Worst piles of crap ever inflicted on Cannock. No wonder they reduced the frequency of the 1. The commanders on it were threadbare and filthy by the time they were replaced ( weirdly they were the last ones apart from 3705 i think ) to be refurbed but they were better thsn the streetlites. I wish theyd send them elsewhere

Bob

Dont the daimler ones sound like tractors though lol?
