I'm not a very good (road) traveller, and for some reason, I tend to feel
quite nauseous on Tridents if it's warm or if I'm a bit under the weather
anyway.
The secondary reason is the grab rail on the top deck front windscreen,
which is positioned right in my eyeline - a minor irritant, I know, but a
persistent one.
As a passenger, I prefer most Volvo products. Whatever they use on the
number 11 in London is a fine bus - much higher quality feel than the
Tridents.
I like whatever they use on the number 13s as well - Scanias, I think.
Pretty rapid machines when driven enthusiastically!
