I would think that the VG has to be the most passenger unfriendly coach in the last 20 years, the seats are just dire and passenger view is also appaling

I always thought the VC300's got a bit of a rough time on there to be honest. Some are pounding up and down from Donegal for nine years now and to be fair seem to be well able for the mileage. I believe there was electrical issues with them, but nothing life threatening obviously as they are on frontline services long after newer buses have been cascaded. They still look modern, and to be fair the seats are just as good as the old VC's I reckon. You coulld see them outlasting the VP's in terms of lifespan also as there should not be the rust issues with them that will no doubt start to put the VP's into retirement after a period on schools
