CX15 BXW - 4644:
OK! This bus is starting to get down the ranks in my books with 4641, 4645 and even 4639 and 4642 getting above it, driver took it sensibly and didn't do much thrashing.


YX67 VCW - 10886:
Like I said I'm a big fan of MMC's and this impressed me a lot, did a few kickdowns throughout it and sounded amazing.


SL64 JFV - 4606:
Not quite as good as 4644! This one thrashed throughout the whole way but let down by it's cooling fan being on the whole time which without it would make it a better bus than 4644. it did rattle a lot but with the roads in Liverpool I was not surprised.


CX07 CPV - 2628:
Thought I'd get this out the way with the fact Commanders are on the way out, it sounded amazing and had a nice voith when you could hear it rev slightly higher, definitely worth the money.


SL64 JCZ - 4586:
My new favourite Second Gen Enviro400! It sounded amazing, had a decent turn of speed and was as solid as a rock the whole way. 10/10.

*break to get some food which I didnt get until 2pm haha*

DG71 VGL - 4719:
Don't laugh but this is my first Streetdeck out of the whole 33! And I liked it, only negative were the brakes and that's it, definitely looking forward to sampling more in the future.


BT66 MTO - 4804:
Bit like 4719 the brakes weren't good but like I've been told before the B5LH G3's don't half shift it was really fast.


VX59 JCZ - 15535:
It was a packed trip. really good bus but let down by a driver who took his job way too seriously and even did it incorrect too, who literally even when people couldn't make it downstairs he closed the doors they asked if they could get off and he said no, bloody moody sod. and you should've seen the loadings get on at Chester Zoo I've never seen anything like it.


CX15 BXP - 4639:
Definitely my new stalker haha! same as when I had it on the Wrexham day out.
