Tridents are awful with Arriva but with Stagecoach's high standards they will probably be fine as Teesside is a lot flatter than County Durham so they shouldn't experience any crawling!

As for the MAN Enviro300's, I would say the engine is perfect for the size, they can get quite a speed but sadly they are horribly unreliable and MAN charge too much for maintenance and after they fell out over a possible Euro V MAN Engine (the reason why they now buy from Scania) they have to sort them out themselves.

MAN are now trying to win back Stagecoach after MAN changed their management team.
