I like these things, being the only E200 Darts in London with non-standard full ADL body, now that Metrolines' DM's are gone. Some of them rattle like hell, this one included although not as bad as one SOE I've been on where I could barely hear the engine lol. However, I am extremely glad that C has these on the 455, instead of the proposed Streetlites which they apparently straight up refused to run a few years back.
I got a good driver on this run who was a bit late so they were a bit more speedy than usual. Wonder how long these buses will stay at C, most likely won't be moving for a little while but could be displaced by newer E200's when GAL loses a contract or orders new electrics.
