Refurbs

[BCMobile]

You'll be suprised how many people dont notice that extra window by the staircase; it does add an airy feel. I always want to ask passengers how my driving was, just to make sure i'm not braking harshly without my knowledge. Do you, as a passenger, notice the jolt as some of the buses come to a stop? I see it when I catch a bus home, peoples heads bounce back.

Never has a little window made such a difference, changed the whole feel of the downstairs and in my opinion evens out the design of the bus matching the opposite window.

And yes occasionally, not so much on the older buses, but the new Enviro 200's as already mentioned and the B7RLE's most definetly. And I can say for a fact that it is not just the drivers, know a WN driver and always seem to travel on buses he drives and the same route, same driver with a Trident his driving is fine, some of the best out there but give him a B7RLE and its quite different.

Sometimes when a driver opens the doors slightly before coming to a stop i.e. the bus is still doing 1-2 mph there also seems to be a jolt when coming to a stop when is it the the bus stop brake??? applies

Glad I'm not the only one noticing that then, Wilmott Dixon.

Regarding the opening doors, they shouldn't do that anyway as the right proceedure is Handbrake >> Door Open. But yes, you're right when the interlock applies it is equivelant to applying the handbrake whilst the bus still moves.

Right ok I can understand that now, seems to be a trait of PE drivers in particular that one! Interlock is the equivalent of a bus stop break then

Hi Ashley!

4536 i haven't seen back and neither is 4544.

One thing you have missed are the hybrids on the 59!

[Ashley 4569]

I get enough of them on the 1 Nathan, love the Enviros I think you know but the Geminis just no

Cannot wait for an Enviro to get put on the 59

Shame that they have branded all of 5410-21 so they only really put 5510-14 on the 59.

Although when i went to the garage on saturday(I will message you to tell you about it) i programmed in Routes 3/5/59/126 onto 5418 which was yet awaiting service. I have a photo of 5418 which i programmed myself into Route 59! Looks quite good actually.

Will be interesting to see what happens on Sundays now all the hybrids are in service, scope for plenty of unusual working, as long as all routes have been programmed into them.
