I had this on the 56 this evening - quite a rough ride, but it sounded quite nice. Unusually on the 56 today for a school-day was Pulsar 2 3021 (lovely, apart from the long-standing "shelf rattle").

I also had Marshall 7669 on the 56 yesterday - once a nice bus, but now it features bad suspension and it sounds quite poorly.

Unusually on the 311 today was Cadet 2517 (doesn't sound abnormal to me - it's had its cooling-fan on and off for years!). Of note, Plaxton Pointer 2 2227 was on the 60 - not sure about what's unusual and what's not on that service these days!

2227 being on 60 is quite unusual, but you do see a dart of some sort every now and then otherwise normally enviro 400's. As for 2517, well its been a few weeks since I have been anywhere near it, the problem I thought I heard could have been sorted. I know what I heard and it wasn't a fan. Anyway, I'm not getting into that again.
