I also sampled 4207 yesterday afternoon on the 33 and thought that it was dreadful (I sat downstairs). The idle vibrations and constant squeaking along with the loud engine didn't combine well at all. I do agree that it'd be better-suited elsewhere, though - possibly on the 10s or 395s.

Repainted 2272 was on the 34/34A yesterday - not sure if this has been reported in service here yet or not.
