Thanks, yes I seen it getting towed away, certainly around 15.00 - 15.30.

Was on 2633 this morning and seemed fine to me - must have sorted the problem!

They certainly must have fixed it as it was very very slow on Saturday, with no change of gear, it was probably taken off when it got to Speke on Saturday and sorted asap.

Just been on 2466 on 81, this thing has appalling idle vibrations with the whole bus just feeling like it is vibrating, its vibrates so much it has taken me about 1/2 an hour to stop vibrating personally. I would advise everybody to avoid this one if they possibly can. Quite a few of these mylleniums have become really awful recently and this is the 3rd in a row for me after 2458 on Saturday and 2455 yesterday.

Top priority now is to get rid of any bus which has those awful urban 90 seats starting
with the Greater Liverpool area

To be fair, its not just the urban 90 seats that make some of these buses awful, but they don't help matters.

2458 is dreadful internally, but has a pretty decent ZF!

2458 vibrates very badly and is all round a terrible ride. Stank of diesel down the back when I rode it on Saturday as well.
