Interesting point that, MM.
I notice that these DB250s fit into the Tax Class 38 (reduced emissions) bracket, meaning that their Road Tax comes in at £165 a year, rather than the usual decker tax of £500 a year (TC34 category).
So they might be crap to drive, but at least the road tax is cheap!

And thats what matters,it saves the company a lot of money and reduces falls on the bus when there pulling away because the pulling away speed is low.

I thought I was seeing thing when this past me on the 82! Strange... Though pretty comfortable

One thing's for sure: 2344 is a massive improvement on the ex-Birkenhead Myllenniums if nothing else! As long as it stays away from the decker routes (unlike today admittedly) it won't be too bad.
RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot - MPTE1955 - 16/05/2013 20:28
Just about an improvement on those ex Birkenhead mylleniums with their grab poles covered in yellow tape instead of being painted. Incidentally, speaking of those, I had 2457 on Tuesday and whilst it could do with being p&p'd inside that one has been tightened up since the last time I rode it with the rattles being kept to a minimum even over speed humps. However, that doesnt make up for the thin seat cushions that are too thin on horrible urban 90's anyway.

Is 2344 covering for a bus off the road or is there a shortage of vehicles at speke?
