Being slightly newer than the Scania Omnicity's these helped to replace you would expect them to be much better & more reliable, although this is far from the case, and very much displays exactly why these vehicles seem to be retained on local services most of the time...
This particular journey was quite bad, the handpole was literally hanging off to the point it was shaking all the time, wires connected with this and the lights were openly visible on the roof. This bus also seemed really sluggish, and despite the drivers efforts to try make the time back up, he had to stop the bus 3x times to ring the depot as a warning light kept appearing on the dashboard...
