RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
According to the drivers, the DLAs are draughty, the window rubbers leak- letting in rainwater (a common ALX400 body problem) and the fuel consumption is very high, mainly due to the fact you've got to floor the accelerator before the damn thing picks up any speed!

I was speaking to a driver who actually had sore thighs, such was the effect of constantly flooring the gas!
One of Bootle's drivers couldn't wait to get rid of them! "These are the worst buses I've ever driven!"
Enough said.
