Only been on the E400Hs. In terms of engine, the B5LH sounds better, but on the other hand, it has that strange downstairs seating layout, I'll post my opinion once I have ridden a B5LH

Pity they couldn't replace the announcer, Phil Uptons voice does tend to become rather annoying, couldn't they use the London iBus lady. Much more soothing voice.

Dread to think who we will get in Wolverhampton, Jasper Carrot?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Nah thats what Redditch would get Jasper Carrot, Lenny Herny for Wolverhampton maybe.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

Surely an Acocks Green run route would get Jasper?

He comes from round there surely?

Adrian Chiles or Frank Skinner for any talking buses around West Brom should they ever get any?  ;)

A Dudley road bus would definitely be ideal for a hybrid

I would imagine that the Soho Road services would be a better place in terms of WB services to give Hybirds a run about. Plenty of stop/start action down that road.

Would be ideal for the 74E (Birmingham - Island Road)
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

With Adrian Chiles voice at least you could go to sleep with his drones.

Volvo's should be in service next week, registrations are being done as we speak and ticket machines were being installed yesterday. Now awaiting the arrival of the E400H's.

Are the first of the E400H still due third week of March?

As far as I'm aware yes that's still the case, BN should be able to confirm that with more accuracy though.
