(17 Dec 2022, 10:45 am)F114TML wrote 16 plate E400s have had mixed reviews from drivers at Sunderland. Generally liked and very smooth to drive (I've not driven one yet) but very slow to get going and apparently they don't like the hills. Is the route of the 685 particularly hilly (for some reason i always thought it was)?Would this not be down to their set up predominantly for Town & City work?
Hasn't been any mention of Arriva's Voith equipped MMCs being slow.
