Had them both at Winsford not long before there respective withdrawal and both could only be described as complete sheds. 2272 consistently struggled on flat gradients and had a obvious gearbox problem. 2267 was slightly better and a bit tidier generally but again it was a awful bus. Certainly not the greatest choice considering there are some much better darts about. |

They must of gone downhill since they left St Helens as both used to be decent Buses when allocated here as i used to end up on one on a regular basis For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!
