Newly repainted 30880 Swallownest today Looks smart - but looks can be deceiving! In 30880's case I think they will be decieving! Great pic  the LED blind is a nice addition to these things! 30880's gearbox has been on the verge of giving up for a while now, on the rear O/S wheel arch has some horrible noises coming from it! (before it went in for paint anyway) |

(before it went in for paint anyway) I agree, 30880 has never been Rotherham's most popular bus but it did go better after having work done on the engine, just the gearbox the problem now. However 30878 over-revs highly but is probably the best performer of the lot. |

However 30878 over-revs highly but is probably the best performer of the lot. Caught it today on the 32 and the LED blinds are all round, flooring replaced around the doors and all the stairs. It 'goes' a bit better than before, the engine work you mention and what sounds to be a new turbo. Rear O/S arch still rattles though on taking power! 30880 and 30846 (on 52) both had a run from standing at traffic lights, up hill to Handsworth Top. 30880 was going for it, but still slower than 30846. Engine work has helped a bit compared to before then! |

Looks pretty smart in the new livery. The addition of LED blinds makes it look newer than it is.
