The ex LS ones badly need a tidy up inside, the grab rails covered in yellow tape instead of repainted is ridiculous. Other than that all the mylleniums seem to move well with a good turn of speed.

I agree with you on the ex Birkenhead Mylleniums, the reason the grab rails are covered in tape is because the plastic coating has been peeled away for some reason or another (probably vandalism). As far as I know it's just the Mylleniums that have this coating opposed to paint like the rest of the fleet,its a stupid design if you ask me. Other than the rattles I think the Mylleniums are great, they have a nice, strong sounding engine and they are something different in the fleet. Just like the Ultralows they have something about them and sound like a proper bus unlike Pulsar, just my opinion.
