(Yesterday, 9:00 pm)X919 WGR wrote Just a shame with ZFs today its not an obvious sound like you'd hear on the Plaxton Prestige or a Smooth B10BLE. Only thing that really remains in the Go North East fleet is the Citaros and they probably don't have that much longer left with them not being CAZ Compliant. So I guess its a ride whilst you can because once their gone it just feels like an end of an era really with the Gearboxes going much quieter and less "ZF'y"

Yeah agreed there, Voith are the same really. 

Give it 20 years time and we'll be old farts talking about gearboxes at all, never mind them being quiet. The vast majority of electric vehicles don't have them like they do now.
