This has had its drivers' seat re-padded recently, so its currently my favourite example to drive as I can sit higher.
My biggest gripe about these vehicles is the drivers' seat. I prefer a high, commanding driving position and this can be a struggle to achieve in these.

But on a serious note, these modern low-floor buses are no good for the driving position. The older ones were much better for looking over the top of other vehicles are seeing the road ahead.

I've been off work for a few days. Is there any sign of 53049 being back at Worcester yet?
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
53049 returned from the paintshop today, and is in the bodyshop when I returned to depot at 16.00 receiving vinyls. may be back on the road tomorrow
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
53049 is indeed back on the road today in the new livery. Looks to be working the 30/31 circuit.

I think I have just found my candidate for Showbus this year.
