Is there any reason 2201, 2202 and 2203 do not appear in the June changes?

Only that they were new in May even if they didn't enter service, shame I didn't include them in May

Referring to your post #813, while maximum engine power is important for buses I believe the torque curve is also important. The speed range of max torque is less with smaller engines. This is overcome by having more speeds in the gearbox as well as sophisticated engine management.I may well be proved wrong
, but I am still of the opinion that engines can go too small. The small engine in the Citaro bendies caused problems in London and Berlin.

It would have done if it had stayed out, but all 3 back in garage now

Hopefully a few more will come out to play in the morning then!

Long day for you - for some reason I thought most duties only had two different segments.

They do, I'm doing overtime.

Most are. The trip on the 11 could be overtime.

Ahh right - makes sense now. Forgot about the overtime element!

My duty is only 5 hours on Sunday, and it's taking the bus out of garage and back in, so perfect day to do some overtime.

[Liberator9]

Sounds good - nice bit of extra money

[Tony]

Plenty of overtime at AG at the moment, I might turn up there on Saturday yet!

@Tony

Nice - have you had a chance to drive one of the E200MMCs yet?
