What does everyone think of the new Scania's - a big improvement on the Volvo low floor buses I think.
Do you think that they are suited to longer service work. I often use the 153 and 156 services between Ballyclare and Belfast and Solars are often used. Today I got 730 [HCZ 8730], while 2023 was also being used today on this service. The journey between Belfast and Ballyclare is only around 40 minutes but after this time the Scania's start to become a bit uncomfortable.
I have noticed the new Scanias are also used alot between Belfast and Newtownards and Belfast and Whitehead.
The Scanias are great buses but should only be used for town service work. Give me 1523 (DAZ 1523) any day of the week - it is just so comfotable compared to 730 etc.
