It's hill starting ability on Lobley Hill this morning was certainly impressive, better than any fuel powered vehicle, but then again electric motors will have more torque than a combustion engine and the lack of gears.Not a bad idea, it seems like a decent bus. However for it does just have 39 seats, which is practically the same as the Common Optare Versas which GNE use, with 1.2m shorter (presumably its 12m).
I think it would be ideal on possibly the 4, 28/29, 12, also the 35 (as it used to have citaros)
