I know someone would mention the top speed ::) obviously I was talking about the acceleration, comparing performance when being driven properly (i.e. accelerating to the maximum extent possible)

That is not being driven properly. There are obviously places where you have to just put your foot to the floor, going out onto Five Ways roundabout is one, but a good driver does not do that pulling away from stops or traffic lights

That's not what I meant...I approve of smooth, fast but safe driving, I was talking hypothetically. Let's just say that, if you were to have a fair drag race, on a level runway, between a WN E400H and a BC E400H, both being driven "properly" the BC one would win, let's just leave it at that.

So you are right whatever despite the fact you don't drive them, maintain them or set the engine management system on them. Sorry Matt but you cannot say that

Don't worry Nath I'm trying to leave it but someone keeps bringing it back ;) like I said I know I'm right, I'm not bothered if others disagree with me as that's their opinion and their problem.

I don't get on well with other people (because often things others say don't make sense to me) and I make that quite obvious but as long as one day I'm sat in the cab of a bus with a running board and ticket machine I'll be happy

You don't know anything about me so don't say that

Come on Now please don't argue  :( The forum is here for everybody to be entitled to an opinon.

Back to Hybrids, Maybe 5510-14 off route on the 126/59/529 etc as they are spare but branded buses is rediculous. There has been E400H on the 126 and 59 and the 59 has had 5413 and 5515 (on 2 days in a row) now on the 529.

Whats happened ??? Why can't they keep the branded buses on the 1.

Really it should be all the branded (All E400H and B5's 5515-8 and 3 unbranded (B5's 5510-14) (One spare in the garage for the peak running board) with 1-2 unbranded B5LH on the 59.

On saturdays its 18 hybrids on the 1 and 3 Unbranded B5's.

On Sundays the 1 has B5's and E400H with up to 4-5 B5's on the 59

The best chance you will get of driving a bus will be from advise/experience/insight & knowledge of people using this site as some are in the industry and have vast experience. With the current low level of recruitment surely it would be in your interest to make friends rather than enemies! You could use this to your advantage but because of your biggoted pig headedness you will gain nothing apart from negativity. You do not Know nothing about me or anyone else on this site..For all you know you could be the next person I interview for a job with NX and with the attitude you have already displayed you will not get the job!
Now that is 'FACT'
