Whiney engine note and DLA-style acceleration suggests 13 years of hard use in London (ex-London DLP71). 4168 feels old fashioned too, with a narrow staircase and its got thick pillars upstairs which create a claustrophobic feel. Comparatively heavy as well with a kerbweight of 11740kg. These may now be single-door (seating capacity is now 70 passengers), they may have Interurban paintwork and they may have new blue 'chessboard' moquette, but they are definitely feeling their age. I certainly hope they're stop-gap buses rather than permanent vehicles. With the recent increase in passenger numbers in north Liverpool, Bootle needs newer deckers, rather than tired London cast-offs |

That may just be this one, I had one of Speke's a couple of weeks ago and that wasn't bad. I have to agree about the old fashioned feel, that was the first thing I thought as soon as I got on, the thick pillars at the top deck front made it feel narrow inside. |

I have also done most of the former Bolton examples and found them to be of a decent standard as well, seems you have come accross the *bag egg* of the batch For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!
