I used to do them for years before leaving them last year and with the normal E400’s and the E400 hybrids they struggle to keep their time. With the new buses being slower and having to wait for doors to close before leaving stops they’ll need more time.

There's not enough for the 22 is there? At least with some spares anyway. If the whole 25 turn up, I'd say the 12 and 38 personally, neither have had investment since 2010 and would displace the 60 plate Enviro's to wherever. Both routes deserve investment imo.

(13 Jul 2023, 6:42 am)BusEnthusiast.com wrote These E400Hs are horrendous they sound horribly tired plus there are so many water leakages on the roofs and stair head protection thing.I’m so happy that they are getting withdrawn

(14 Jul 2023, 5:35 pm)BusEnthusiast.com wrote Oof that’s sad they sound better and healthier than the E400Hs.Well most of them some of the deckers sound hoovery and the occasional 1 or 2 sound terribly bad.I don’t know why they are removing them so early.I see different buses nice and healthy made in 2007/8?
