Are the VGs really that bad? I must try and get one of them some time.

From what I have read elsewhere, a lot of drivers will take a Volvo over a Scania as they find the Scanias to be very uncomfortable, especially for the citybuses. This could be one of the reasons why some drivers prefer the VC300s over the SPs. The VC300s were a nice coach when new, they were as nice as the SPs were when new in fact. But there is no comparison between these types now.

I haven't been on an LC in yonks but the few times I have been on them I disliked them severely. I much prefer the SPs to be honest, and I don't like a fair few of those now either.
