Even the very old school angry drivers are massively positive when it comes to them.Fair enough, just thought it might have been too soon to go fully electric, would have thought a gradual change to electric as them 271/2’s for example still have loads of life to them. Any idea where they’re going? Heard they’re all heading to Carlisle thought the 272’s would have gone to Sunderland to replace the gas buses.
As for the mileage the long runs they won’t struggle at all, the only problem they have is the 1/2 on the old running boards where in excess of 430 miles.
Most drivers are finding with the regenerative braking you can quite regularly end up in a similar place range wise when doing a full 36 start to finish.
