In my view one of the worst DMUs of all time is the 150. They are too noisy, claustrophobic and hot like a greenhouse in summer. These noise levels wouldn't have met European noise levels on a bus in the mid 1980s. I've often let a 150 go and wait of the next service if one shows up on a 142 diagram in summer.
I really can't see a problem with the 144s apart from the Richmond seating which makes the interiors claustrophobic.
One of my favourite units were the now extinct 141s, I used to travel a lot to Yorkshire in the 1990s to have a ride on them.
