Cabs have very little space, dispenser is practically behind you on the stupid little latch they’ve got for them no actual holder for them like on the 262**’s for example. No bin in the cab, just a felt lined holder for defect card, no where to put the running board that you can see it. The bell sound does my head in especially when people keep pressing it, the beeping doors do my head in and the indicator beeping too. The only good things are the camera mirrors they’re better than normal mirrors and the fact it’s instant heat not having to wait for it to warm up, haha.
Edit, I’ve added a photo of what I mean with the dispenser latch, it’s awful.
Cabs are far more spacious than a E300! The clips clip perfect on the window which is a far better place for moving - we’ve all been given clips for running boards to clip on the window surround as well!

Yes - major issues at Wheatsheaf following an incident Sunday night - currently not able to gas, fuel or power any buses up. We’ve had yutongs in and out all day for charge!
Apparently there’s a plan for gas as well
