EDIT: 2267 X267 OBN has also just gained 12 months Tax, wonder if UK Coachways have also bought that

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

Agreed they where ok at best when at St Helens. 2272s speed was dangerously slow at times.

It was the dark interior that did it for me. Somehow the Plaxton Darts were cleaner.
