Title: Hybrid Enviro's
Post by: Eric Shaw on July 09, 2014, 07:57:47 PM
I read on Buszone that Reading are sending 10 Hybrid E 400 Enviro'to Glasgow for the games. Should be interesting going up Shap and Beatock.

9 out of 10 made it.  The 10th broke just north of Carlisle

I photographed most of them

With no gears as such, are these suited for long distance / motorway work? What speed can they reach?
