I have seen most of 4383 to 4394 with ad blue tanks, but 4395 still has not although it is a YW bus.

I have always preferred the Voith gearbox to the ZF, but only marginally until recently. I now take my wife on the bus in a wheelchair and sit in the wheelchair space to be near her. As I sometimes am sitting at odd angles I find that the Voith gearbox gives a much smoother change up and down, irrespective of the type of vehicle.

I thought the main difference was that 4697 has a 6 cylinder engine and the others have the newer 5 cylinder, even though both are approximately 9 litres.

Thanks for the information Steve. It must make it a very useful vehicle to have.

6013, 6014, 6018 and 6021 were on the 4 yesterday together with 4402, 4408, 4410 and4216.

I travelled on YJ 13 HJE yesterday on the S16. Have some seats been removed to make a wheelchair space? I thought they had 48 seats and now it says 42 plus 2 standees.

With the demise of the 59 and the 73 moving to AG I would like to thank the drivers on these routes. I have been taking my wife into the City Centre in a wheelchair and have always been treated with courtesy and consideration and often been made to feel welcome. This has made what could have difficult journeys a pleasure.

2204 is running along the 73 route this morning, marked Staff Bus, with a  number of drivers on board.
