Only ever recall 315s, 317s and 321s since FGE days as a local. Not even sure 360s would have been cleared for it?

Handbrake will apply regardless of speed, same as can knock this type of bus into neutral whenever you like

I know the throttle pedals on these have two position sensors that read opposite values and if there was an error it would bring on a red engine light and cut power immediately. Only way it would jam is if a foreign object was caught under it such as a ticket roll Of course brakes on a bus work...

Think it'll be more likely pedal confusion...

Not sure on trains but I know on buses you have to have the air built up and handbrake released to wind off the spring brakes normally otherwise it's very hard to do, much harder on a train I'd imagine.

I'd like to think there's more to it than just taking it because it's closest

Seems a bit suspect considering they would still be in warranty and Cummins are usually very good.

I know from my area of First that the system is part of the ticket machine so as long as the vehicle has one fitted it will work.

Have to say from using them whilst driving buses they're are amazing compared to standard mirrors especially in rain and at night.

I've lost track of why the 769s were binned but would they not be a good candidate to be converted to this battery tech? Especially for the Cornish branches.

Interesting that all these new repaints they've been doing will now require new logos

When we first got them at my garage they failed a few times meaning having to go out with a stick on mirror to drive it back but they've settled down and hardly go wrong (apart from when they're smashed off). They're so much nicer from a driving point of view as well

Never in a million years...

Recently in London there was CT Plus and the Lea Interchange garage of Tower Transit

"Misery" Oh please, it's a 10 minute bus ride at most to Rainham Station

Complete non starter, the proposed route could easily be done by a couple of changes to the existing bus network for a fraction of the price. Maybe a version of the East London Transit bus system at a push would happen. Also, is Beam Park actually happening? Seems rather pointless considering...

I definitely recall coasting on a 321 during works but I can't find anything about it now so doubting it. I'm sure it was after leaving Romford towards Stratford... Edit; Just searched my Facebook, 25th August 2013 from Romford to Ilford. Apparently it was only 321s allowed and was tested...

Doesn't some of the Underground (Central?) and the DLR use KPH?

The BYD aftermarket support is shocking hence the switch to other manufacturers, ADLs new EVs also have a long lead time so expect more Wrightbus orders

Painful memories of 4 car units working during the peak in the days of ONE
