We have had the Enviro 200's at Selby now for nearly two weeks and they aren't going down very well with my fellow drivers. Do they all rattle and bang as much as these?! And what a bad design the wheelchair bay arm is, that rattles so much and makes so much noise it gives you headache! Its a shame really because we were all looking forward to getting these to replace the old darts.  |

The ones at stagecoach Barnsley's depot sound just as bad, rattles galore. The nodding dog effect of the front end when coming to a stop annoys me too. Overall not the greatest of buses I've ever drove.

I don't like them, Non of them really seem too good. I do like the ones at Worksop with Stagecoach and they seem quite nice but they have different engines. Arriva 1059 was rattling bad when the bus wasn't moving a few weeks back

6 Cylinder Cummins Solo's are far better than any Enviro200.

It stands to reason. More cylinders=smoother running engine.

In Dewsbury today, I saw route 281 and 282 Enviro 200 operations had been partially Eclipsed by larger single-deckers cascaded in from Heckie, every pun intended! However, on route 283 I only saw Enviro 200s, and hope this route stays fully E200.

Its a shame really because we were all looking forward to getting these to replace the old darts. That's what happens when firms want cheap buses, they get nasty ones. Anything with an ADL badge on it should be avoided since they're probably the most badly built buses on the market today. |

Enviro 200's, yes. Enviro 400's however seem much more solidly built.
