Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot
@K853, For me, the Marshalls are just an unappealing bus (I should add that I wasn't a great fan of the Ultralows either). I find the design to be dated even for a 90s vehicle, the vast majority rattle horrendously, the build quality is poor often with poorly fitting body panels leaving the vehicle prone to the cold over the Winter and I find the interior dull and unnatractive. I prefer the Pointer II Darts in general although the R-ABAs would be an exception to this with their dark interiors.

Of course they're a box with 4 wheels that will do a job until they've been run into the ground but then so is every other bus to a large company like Arriva. I think it's also worth noting that these Marshalls were always the 'cheap' option being picked up for a heavily discounted cost at the end of MTLs operation. However, I should now add that my opinion of the Marshalls is from an enthusiasts point of view, not that of a large company trying to make money and therefore, the sooner the Marshalls go, the better.
