Destination Display
Destination Display
Drifters need a lot of TLC especially on the exterior, a flagship service suffered without a single repaint in a decade. The age is really showing on them if its true what some drivers say on here a lot of them are going into limp mode and are sttruggling with hills

Noticed whilst in Gateshead the angels are constantly on service 57. Why?

Though the speed of some of the London stock on the A167, you’d need angelic intervention to keep to time

They look smart in corporate and nice white display destinations. What internals like?

The legroom is better but the seats are thinner, not high backed, condensation runs down the middle of the roof, headroom seems less especially by stairs and there’s random boxes in places on the floor and by god they are slow,

The Prince Bishops is so bad because the vinyls are so thin and are not a massive covering like the Drifter or the old Coaster Livery is. Like for the PB's all the lettering vinyls are individual therefore they are easier to come off.
