so far, there's been reports of buses from 8221-8241 (Minus 8240) These buses arrived fast if you ask me, what kept those TT Coaches, lol

Also, I saw 8221 on the 23, 8223, 8226, and 8231 on the C, and Yesterday, 8239 on route 56

my artic-on-the-26 driver told me that yes, they are slow, but I guess I hit a stroke of luck when I rode 8223 (C). It was almost as fast as a 5600 and it flew like a jet down Broad Street, landing me at Spring Garden and CCP several minutes earlier than I expected.

Going off topic to answer you question. They did not have parts at times which caused the TTs to be delayed.

Probably the placebo effect kinda like with 5251 with its superfast acceleration! :P

Well I have rode on 8228 on the route C on Sunday. Its diesel engine does kick in somewhat faster then the 08' hybrids. There's no telling for sure since the driver rarely put the hammer down!! Asides from the LED lighting which they have, there's nothing really special about these units and therefore, I'm not too excited about this fleet of them. Ridden on one of them is enough for me...

That was in the initial delivery. Now they are missing parts that have fallen off ,most notably the rear retriever button bezels.

Here's an example.
