Forgot to add:

For bendy bus, my favourite is 2nd last left seat in trailer section. I will avoid the last row of seats on Tibs bendy trailer section cause they are too high, and the very last row in trailer section on SBST bendy.

Best : VO 3 axles, Mark 4s , Mercedes CAC (SBST) , Habits and Volgren bendy (TIBS).

Love to seat at the back of the buses.

If they are properly maintained, they won't break down that easy.

I like engine sounds of 96xx 3-axle VOs, N113CRBs, Tridents and DM3500s. No particular favourite seat though.

service_238 SG

Engines:
Scania 113CRB
VSO
VO 3-axle 94xx-96xx series.

Seats:
Double Decks- No particular seat on the upper deck but i would prefer either the front seat or the rows of seats in the rear half. (except the last row) For lower deck no preference because i usually stand on the lower deck.

Single Decks- Rows of seats behind the rear door except the last row and the 2 seats JUST behind the rear door itself.

Scania 113CRB favourite seats: In my terminology, it is known as the '4 Heavenly Kings'. They are the last 2 rows of seats at the emergency exit there.

Bendies- As at Single Deckers but in the trailer carriage.
