No one saw 6116 on 120 yesterday?

I did. On a 120E though. Shortly followed by another MMC on the 140.

[Stuharris 6360]

Am i the only one to think so, but the rear number displays on the E200s seem very dull compared with the front and side displays. Is this deliberate?

Are there any mercs on the 243/244 today?

6117 has developed a loud whistle

A lot of them are to be fair mate, 6119 has the same And another few aswell

6120 seems to be extremely fast

[BU07 LGO]

Are they better sounding/quicker than the euro 5 enviro's?

[BU07 LGO]

Much quicker

Good! im sick of the euro 5 ones all the time! saying that though 4875 is pretty nippy

[Trident 4609]

Are they better sounding/quicker than the euro 5 enviro's?

As Matt said they feel faster (especially pulling out of stops). They sound similar to Euro 5's though.

[Trident 4194]

They don't feel like your going fast, but you are

[BU07 LGO]

As long as they're quicker! I think the euro5's are okay once theyre moving but theyre too reluctant to rev so that affects them pulling away and uphill.

Much quicker

At Yardley Wood the drivers are complaining that they cannot keep up with the 47xx Enviros on the 50

[Tony]

He was asking for a comparison with the euro 5, not euro 4. I agree they are not as quick as the euro 4

I have only driven one, 6111, and didn't find that any faster the 4895-4913 that I have driven at BC, now if you are lucky enough to travel on 4948 on the 900 then you might find out what is fast

This is interesting reading the different options availabale.

I wonder if NXWM have specified xenon headlights with the platinum ones like arriva's 110 enviros?

I noticed the Reading MMCS are more comfortable to ride in upstairs and they have 3 more inches legroom on the offside with one less row of seats in a longer vehicle. The moquette and interior is more welcoming and elegant too!
