Ah brill, it'll be nice to see a healthy number of Myllenniums back for a few months then.

I'll be glad to see the back of those Presidents - the leg room on some seats is awful.

The Palatines were heavier than the standard Olympian, with having double glazing and DP seats, not to mention the fact cement was used when new to strengthen the chassis. Poor maintenance doesn't help, such as buses not being steam cleaned or being kept in a shed.
