Still think MANs are awful though!

There's always been those who love and those who hate the MANs. I think one of the big grudges drivers had with them was that the driver position was very low, I'm told on the 54 and 06 reg MANs it's even lower, the big overhang at the rear another downside.
When you consider the original batch and thier age it's very obvious Stagecoach have had thier monies worth out of them and if it wasn't for age restrictions on contracts and DDA ect I reckon these buses would last another 10 years.
