Which bus do you dislike most, and why?

[Tetchytyke]

The B5LH is very popular in London, but I agree the lower rear layout is far worse than the E400H (or Borismaster)

It's purely because of how Volvo have packaged the engine and the hybrid equipment. They did the same thing before with the B7L, and that was just as bad a seating layout on the single decker version. Given how unpopular it was, I'm surprised they did it again, but there we are.

It's not a Wright thing: the E400MMC on the B5LH chassis has the exact same seating layout too.

I don't mind the seating layout, unless I end up stuck in one of those three seats on the back row. But that's the same for any bus that has the same seating layout: the back row on the Omnicity is pretty grim too.

The back row on most buses (rather than underfloor-engined coaches) is pretty grim anyway. At least these days it doesn't involve being baked alive and breathing in exhaust fumes.

...or send it to Stevenage to help solve their problems there?

What problems do they have there ? That heap of **** wont solve anything

The Scania Omnicity. Cheaply built, poor quality, and with the second most uncomfortable seats behind the Urban 90. Only good thing to say for it is that the legroom is very good.

I used to love the 2003 Omnicitys we had at Metrobus/Go Ahead London in Orpington.

They were a dream to drive but I can't comment on the passenger comfort.

As a general rule of thumb anything built by ADL,

Agreed, any ADL built with-in the last five years, I find the seats to be rock hard.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the Plaxton Primo.

I sooner travel on a Plaxton Primo, then a Optare Solo.

I think the all-time worst for me was the Dodgy/Renault S56,

Too true, than the same could also be said for Ford Transit's and Leyland Sherpa's.

How very strange. I can't imagine that many would agree with that.
