4898 was there as part of the campaign to encourage Public Transport use whilst the City Centre tunnels are shut over the Summer.

Brilliant, are there no route changes for the 900/957 to coincide with the change?

Thursday is the date that's been chucked around the depot. Apperantly the tax issue has now been rectified.


No route changes and no branding. The ECU has been modified to account for higher speeds, or so an ADL chap said.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Looking Forward to seeing them it will be strange seeing an Enviro 400 around Sheldon as I've never seen one round here before, I know 4805 has been to Sheldon before when it appeared on the 60 when 4800-4829 were at BC but I never seen that working so as I said at the begining it will be strange seeing one round Sheldon :D

Be a good sight, sound and drive. Hopefully. For Your Information - The door interlock is on the accellerator, not brake, so could result in a slight jab when pulling away.

By the way, Rob, for your namesake where is 4367? Feels like ages since I've seen that. Whats the usual working of it?

Well every time I see 4367 its either on the 60 900 or 957 but I rarely see it on other BC Routes :)
