Hehe. Just realised that when I move closer to Kingston Uni, I won't be near any LTs at all Even with the 453 converting, there still won't be any within my vicinity ...unless of course, TfL suddenly say: "Haha! You thought you could get away, Nathan? Well how do you like us converting the 71 and 281 to LT operation? " Me:

Before I state mine, I'd like to say that I don't purposely avoid any of the following: NBfL's - don't like nothing about them except the ride BN's & N's 54 reg VLA's - gutless pieces of rubbish. At least they are ok comfort wise BN's 05 reg VLA's - gutless pieces of rubbish. At least they are ok comfort wise Enviro 200's on Allison pre Euro VI - find them so boring on Allison, at least Euro VI seems to have made them more interesting Euro V Enviro 400H's - I find the motor noise dreadfully boring and that's if the bus is going fast enough to reach that point I would like to add to that SF/AE VLWs (VLW158 aside) and any other Arriva B7TLs bar the WN ones. NB4Ls I don't even like the ride, I would rather a euro 5 omnicity which is both boring to listen to and uncomfortable to ride. Euro 5 E400s are dull as ditch water Any E400 or E200 on voith

For me, I wouldn't avoid getting on a bus just based on the bus type (unless the next bus is less than 10 minutes away and it's either a rare working or it's a bus I really really like ) but if I was to avoid a bus type, it'd be anything with Urban 90 seats, an NBfL in the Summer and an E40H* *All based on my opinions

Can you give an example of a bus in Tower Hamlets that has them? I won't know anywhere else. 2)Stagecoach LTs are an exception. I took the 8 during the summer and it wasn't bad at all.

They're the lumps of plastic with very little padding. I do believe GAL's 55 plate OmniDekkas have them as well. Perhaps, they're more common in South London but most of Abellio's Caetanos, London United's 02 plate " DPS", Arriva's 55 plate VLA's and Metrobus' 03 plate darts are just some of the examples I can think of. As for Stagecoach's LT's, I've not been on one yet, so I wouldn't know but my issues were mainly with LU's LT's for routes 9 & 10 and the 24's LT's.

What seats do 09-reg Omnicities have? Are Urban 90 seats better or worse than those? In particular BW's Omnicities.

I image searched 'urban 90 seats' and the 108 came up with Urban 90 seats in it. I can easily get on a 108 at Bow to check out the seats.

I'd say the Scania seats in Scania's are just as bad as Urban 90's personally. I hate the Urban 90's. I wish they replaced them all with Civic V2 seats! All of Metrobus's Darts have them, including the ones based at Crawley.
