I have been on 3002 in Derry, it does the 0800 212 to Belfast and the 1030 return, it also does the 1500 212 and the 1730. In the morning it leaves Derry with very few people, it stops again at Altnagelvin Hospital and is about about 1/3 to 1/2 full, it then carrys on to the Castledawson roundabout where it then fills to capicity. When the back end it bounces about when it is empty, but when full it is sits on the ground. I was talking the marketing guy in Wrightbus and he said that they design their artics 'bounce' about when the are empty but when full they sit still.The drivers I think don't mind them when they are driving them in a straight line i.e. driving along the road, but they are apparently a bugger to manouver esp. in the Derry depot as it is very tight. I don't know about Larne, Newry and GVS.

I would hardly say you saw an Solar Fusion on the Scania, beacuse as far as I know, First Group are buying Eclipse Fusions.
