Assume the local management are happy with how the Voith gearboxes are doing in 7541-52 and so have went with the same again.I've only just seen this. What's the difference between a Voith and ZF gear selector?
Understand that quite a few standard E400s have had lots of recurring issues with their ZF gearboxes (7530 as an example), so this could be another factor in the decision making.
Any photos?
I do think ZF is better on a good run but I get the issue around reliability. Didn't GNE have issues with 6338-40 which came to light during lockdown 1 when they operated the special 45 service?
