You learn something everyday, is this a trend or was its dot matrix displayi faulty

Does the fact that PB is losing the Artics mean they will have additional capacity in theory. Not that I can see that benefiting my local route, but thought I would ask as I procrastinate preparing a presentation lol.

Im guessing that these are Tacho fitted and can go above 60mph ???

Wait, I thought a lot of buses had no speed limiter, except a President, Omnilinks and etc. Which buses do not have a speed limiter?

All buses have a speed limiter fitted, it is a legal requirement unless it is physically impossible for that vehicle to reach 62mph. Nearly all NXWM including the Omnicities are limited to 50mph

A bus can't go faster than 50mph ?! I remember being in a car and in order to take over a bus to get off the main road (#97 trident) we had to go slightly faster and the bus kept pace up until the bus stop and we were traveling around 50mph.

50mph down the Meadway? Are you sure?

It was in Bordesley Green east, myself and the driver were really surprised although I must admit I was impressed

Take over?

Take over?

My apologies for not being more literate but Matt has pretty much nailed it

[The Fox 4846]

As the 7 is commonly getting enviro's on is that route getting upgraded to Enviro 400's instead of the 101?
