Pity they don't think the same about the fleet of Marshalls.

Why do so many people dislike the Marshalls ? As a passenger I find they are no better or worse than Plaxton Darts of a similar age. And from an enthusiast point of view, they add a little bit of variety to the local bus scene.

Completely agree mate!
Although considering they were the budget option, they have lasted just as long as similarly aged buses with different bodies, and served their time just as well as other Darts. Sure they arent as nice to ride as other Darts, but each bus is different, some have aged better than others, and some have always been crap! You could think of some of the Pulsars in the same way though really! :-P
However Warrington and Halton are testament to the fact they do the job of any other bus just as well really :-)
