Sorry folks I like them! they may be unreliable unpredictable boneshakers but at least it gives them character which many modern buses don't have these days!
The B6 & B6BLE are some of the worst buses I've ever driven. I drove standard B6's and although they were faster than a Dart, they had poor turning circles and were useless around town. They also had dire brakes which were too sharp. They overheated in the summer all the time, and they used to shake and rattle like crazy, all the electrics and warning bells got so shaken they'd randomly sound all day long. The B6BLE's were a bit better, but I'd rather drive a Dart anyday!!
I don't feel safe on these buses! There have been too many engine fires on the B6 for me to trust them anymore, plus they don't exactly sound healthy!

Hope you carried a fire extinguisher with you! More TWM B6's have gone up in flames than any other bus in history.
