(06 Jan 2023, 4:18 pm)Adrian Didn't it spend more time off the road than it did in service?
For me, it's not a patch on the Yutong performance-wise, and I don't think there's anything in it compared to the way GNE have specified their interior fit.

(06 Jan 2023, 4:49 pm)Ambassador It would be nice to see a BYD model trialled. They are the best selling model in Europe so there must be a decent run on them (or plenty of subsidies)
Think they work with ADL and Go Ahead have the E Enviro400s

(06 Jan 2023, 9:23 pm)Adrian I mean it's obviously subjective, but having tried the BYD E400 in Dundee and the BYD E200 in Kilmarnock, I'd still say the Yutong examples up here are the better bus.When Arriva North West's BYD E200's entered service, the ride was absolutely appalling, rattles and felt like it was being slammed into each pot hole it went over, they actually ended up being sent to have work done on them more recently to try and counteract the issues and mercifully the ride has been improved since. The demo GNE trialled seemed much better (LJ68CYO: https://flic.kr/p/24wSp7B)
Of course, their sales figurss speak volumes, so I agree it'd be good to see further trials in the North East. They did have the E200 demo on the 53/54 a couple years ago, but I'm sure things have moved on since then.

Can't pass many comments on the Yutong's as it's a while since I last had a ride on one anywhere.
