Urban 90 seats are really crap. So uncomfortable!  I prefer the old fashioned bus seat type like on T47 WUT and the s reg longer darts. The W SNR heaps have the worst legroom ever cos theyve crammed 40 seats into what should be a midibus

The W-SNR MPDs are okay for legroom :)

The W-SNR MPDs are okay for legroom :)

They aren't MPD's though as they have ALX200 bodywork so it isn't a Mini Pointer Dart ;)


Sorry for being pedantic ;)  Tbh i don't mind the legroom on the W-SNR darts.

Anyway moving on, 3797 was on the 70/76 today.

What legroom? ??

[Bob]

Im 6 ft 3in an struggle with mpds alx darts, the alx b10bles w-ewu and pulsars/centros all have loads of legroom on most seats. B6s and cadets are abysmal tho! Older buses like nationals and metrobuses had loads more legroom. The worst buses in step entry models were any plaxton pointer dart and the l-yvk darts. Even women use to have to stick their legs in the aisle on them lol

My mate told me W109EWU broke down yet again today. This bus has been breakjng down at least once a week and more for months now, is it beyond the engineers to repair it properly?  Its like they patch it up then it breaks again the same day or next its crazy. If its that knackered why not get rid!

I was talking about the Plaxton MPDs.

Sorry i thought you meant the ALX200 Darts at Wednesfield ;) I do apologise :)

[arrivaaston]

2226-2238 are ALX200, 2239/41/42/43/46/47/48/49 are MPD Pointers ;)

[Bob]

And theyre all sheds

[Bob]

Just been on a citaro on the x65 and was reminded how good they are. So much better than pulsars and the I dread to think streetlites coming soon. Why cant cannock actually have some decent buses. Lightweight crap just doesnt cut it for interurban services

[arrivadays]

2239/41/47/48 are alright, tbf - not bad (they're nowhere near the extent of sheds)

[Bob]

The entire bu51 batch are a disgrace.  Especially bu51 kwj ( a disgrace was the drivers choice of word)
