A trip to Barnsley would be better for that shed.

I managed to ride on a few Myllenniums today - 2459 (75), 2461 (80A), 2465 (81A) and 2467 (81). 2459 was generally fine - it rode quite well but just looked scruffy inside and outside, especially with its old 410 branding still pretty-much visible. 2461 was also generally fine, however it rode a bit rough and was emitting a concerning amount of white smoke whilst idle and going off of the mark. Words cannot describe completely how unbearable 2465 was - its idle vibrations were horrific and it rode very poorly (very rattly and rough). 2467 had idle vibrations and was a bit rattly and rough.

I also rode on:
- 2586 on the 80, which was generally okay (quite rattly)
- 2589 on the 75, which was generally okay (quite rattly)
- 2634 on the 80A, which was generally okay (it didn't sound too good and was bouncy at the back)
- 2733 on the 80, which was generally okay (a bit rattly and rough, with loud clunking from underneath)
- 4113 on the 76, which was generally okay (didn't sound too good and it was rattly upstairs)
- 4125 on the 86A, which was generally fine (a bit sluggish off of the line)
- 4212 on the 81A, which was generally fine (brakes sounded unhealthy)
- 4476 on the 500, which was generally fine (upstairs interior was badly defaced)
There was a Myllenium on the 699 and Gemini 4209 on the 82 this morning
4209 on the 82 today while 4210 and 4212 were on the 81/81A. A couple of deckers were on the 75 as well.
