RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
4431 mightn't be great, but it's got nothing on 4420 which I had on the rail replacements today. This is an awful bus offering a rough, bouncy ride where every bump is felt, an interior that looked tired, was boiling hot and, like many of this ex-Birkenhead batch, absolutely stunk. These deckers haven't aged well for my money and it probably wouldn't be hyperbolic to suggest there are now more bad examples of these than good. Certainly 4416, 4418, 4420, 4431 and 4432 which I have ridden recently are all distinctly underwhelming considering their relatively young age.
