AVID e-fan mods.
I've posted a link to their website's page in the past - Arriva installed the same to their Temsa Avenues. The Mercs, like the Temsas, have an abundance of power which just isn't required at all. The Blaydon Racers timetable is still realistic and achievable, and also more comfortable from a passenger perspective, with the fans. Just means in my opinion that they'll always be held on more local services now.
STL is well into his 'under the hood' stuff, so he'll probably know all about AVID e-fans.
