Do they operate only on electric? Or does the diesel engine keep cutting-in?
Is the diesel engine audible? I have only ever ridden on the original Quaylink buses - not on any of the hybrids.
As I understand it, the battery in the Borismaster powers the bus and the diesel engine helps to recharge the battery.
I'm not convinced that they look futuristic (I think part of the design brief was to make them reminiscent of the true Routemaster) and the upper deck seats at least are a lot more uncomfortable and closer together than the Volvo B9 and AD400.
