...and I still get sheds like Plaxton Pointer 2 X233 ANC (2233) in the morning! The brakes on it were absolutely horrible - unbearable, at times! Also, there was a lot of banging and clanging underneath the bus and it was quite sluggish - especially up hills, where it managed to drop-down from gear four to gear two! - but its ride-quality was fine (few rattles and my seat was comfortable).

Plaxton Pointer 2s T315 PNB (2315), T821 PNB (2321), T322 PNB (2322), T323 PNB (2323) and T324 PNB (2324) were all still out in service today - 2315 was on the 53A, 2321 was on the 53, 2322 was on the 345, 2323 was on the 53A and 2324 was on the 311. Also, ALX200 X263 OBN (2263) was on the 58 with sister-bus X265 OBN (2265).
