Just declare them all a failure and bring back the Tridents ;D

It was me who bought 4901  ;D

[B.C Driver]

4910 only had 725 miles, first time I have drove a bus with only 3 figures on the mileometer

Did you like it?

It was nice to drive, but it was a bit sluggish at pulling away which you wouldnt expect from a new bus.

NX may have had the engine management systems set like that to prevent hard acceleration & ultimately conserve fuel

New buses and coaches often feel sluggish and un responsive to begin with. A few hours work and a few miles and things fall into place. The Van Hool 917 i drive was a pig of a coach to begin with but quickly settled down and is now a pleasure to drive.

I was thinking that too, but there are times when you need a bit of speed to pull away at busy islands etc

[BU07 LGO]

I often wonder whether NXWM use different maps on their buses, after having my diesel car remapped it is a complete different car, drive it sensibly though and MPG is actually better than standard

Go one better and bring back Timesaver Metrobuses
