Hence why we override this part of telematics.

Now a tone has sounded whilst on his phone he has moved his phone away from his ear and reved the engine. And by the time I finished typing this post it's gone off again!
What's the point of euro 6 leaves painted on the bus if they do this!? If its a reliability issue then it should be sorted on warranty or at depot.

It's rather annoying as my phone lights up every time and I think I'm getting notifications!

Itâs a bit like years ago the odd person would laugh if they heard a car engine start back up when the light went green or if in traffic (as the car had probably stalled). Now itâs common practice with stop/start so no one batters an eyelid.

The engine idle shake on them was unbearable especially if you were in the wrong seat (above the wheels or at the back). Some Omnicity's aren't particularly much better.

Usually helps to keep the bus warm.Yeah, on the StreetDecks (and I believe B5s), when the engine goes off so does the blow air heating, and they cool down quite fast especially with the windows open for ventilation
