They've also got some canny acceleration if you have a driver like I did on 6818 who put this foot down at certain points, other passengers also commented the notable difference in comparison to the diesel variants along with the quieter and smoother ride.
I thought the interior was quite nice although the seats were a bit firm/hard for my liking and it's so much better without the tables on board. the leg room is pretty decent to no matter where you sit as long as it's not the first two rows upstairs above the drivers cab where they've crammed another row of seats in probably to compensate for the loss downstairs one would presume.
The driver said that 6818 had been out since 05:30 this morning and by the time it had reached CLS around 12ish it had 46% battery remaining, checking bustimes it is still out and has completed 11 trips thus far x2 NCL-Brandon Returns and x9 NCL-CLS Returns.
Two wheelchair spaces is going to cause problems with single wheelchair bays , thinking they can have two wheelchairs on board.....ouch
