Interesting to hear that Oldham might get Enviro200s. Wonder what the drivers will make of those as I heard one driver last week saying she doesn't like the Enviro400s and prefers the B9s.

As an ex first driver, I can safely say 90% of drivers prefer B9s over Enviros - there is no power in an Enviro, the turning circle is sh*t which is why drivers struggled at Greenfield at first, the doors are bloody annoying and they feel so cheaply made.

Has an ex first driver now stagecoach driver i would say 100% of drivers prefer the b9 over the enviro 400!
