Sorry, i meant it did not like speed bumps either, Speed wise it was not to bad (that and seat comfort was the only good point about it)
Optares are usually great over speed bumps. Unless you was on the 53 going through Seaforth over them mountains?
Had it on the X3 Service full route

Just clocked on that 17201/72 aren't DDA compliant whereas 17019/21 are.

They aren't as they lack side destinations.
DDA deadline for double decks isn't until this time next year.
17019/21 aren't DDA compliant - that's an oversight on the fleetcard. Due to their age I don't think there's any plans to convert them - if Sheffield hadn't pinched some Enviro400s they'd already be gone.
Not sure which one, but I saw a 285?? series Scania in Quuen Square this morning (31 Dec.) - possibly on the X3. (Did not have time to see if it returned later)
It will have been one of the East Lancs bodied Scanias (28513/14) which have been a regular occurrence on the X3 whilst the schools are off
28513 it was. 25226 and 24152 were the other 2 X3 boards today with 28514 being off the road. 28539/42/43 should be getting converted into trainers soon.
I managed to catch up with Scania N94UB/
East Lancs Esteem 28514 yesterday on the X3. They're not as bad as I would have imagined them to be, however, I've had much sprightlier journeys on the Diamond examples on the 126 in Lancashire. I found the destination layout of the Mobitec destination displays quite peculiar with them displaying X3 on the left as well as the right of the display.
