I hate the Voltra's so much, where the wheelchair space is cos they now have NSA Screens it just blocks the view. I hate them, not to mention the NSA never seem to work

Those seats look very Transpennine Express-esque

I think these ones will be much better

No they won't. There replaced QuayCity

They still have that awful display which blocks your view

Which awful display

(08 Jul 2022, 3:20 pm)Aaron21 wrote Which awful display

I don't know if you're aware, but those things on the side of the bus are called windows. That's where the view is

the awful display for next stops etc, where the wheelchairs go, it blocks the entire view down the bus.

You mean the display that is positioned there so that wheelchair users can also see the NSAs?

Does it really though, that ~20cm tall screen blocks the 'entire view' down the bus?

That screen is there so people in wheelchairs can see the next stop info, you're suggesting they take away an accessibility feature so you can see a little bit more of the windscreen?

Get a grip

If you are past the steps, it directly blocks it all the way down.

Im not saying its a bad feature, personally I love that it is there so people in wheelchairs can see what the next stop/approx arrival, however I feel it is badly placed.

Yeah, could it not go there?

Tbh though, it's only really going to block your view to the front if you're sitting in one of the seats right at the back.

I'm also not a massive fan of the green on the seats and the grassy floor, could they not have gone for a darker shade?

Unbelievable how a brand new, 12m long, 2.5m wide by 10 foot high bus (that's an awful lot of area) can be ruined by a 20cm NSA screen, honestly you really cant please everyone! just sit on the other side!

Then you're directly blocking the view of the front seats, which id argue is worse.

When you're at the back, it's not blocking your view at all, maybe I'm just weird, but I'm basically never looking directly forward out of the front window that's like 6-7m away. When you're that high up, your view our of the window is going to be mostly road with a hint of pavement. And, if you're lucky, a bit of reg plate of the car in front

Not really unless I'm completely misjudging the size of the seats. If you're so short you can't see out the side window, frankly, you're not going to have much of a view anyway.

Isn't the window line on the Yutongs quite high? I haven't been on one for a while so I can't quite remember.

If they're the same height as the V3s, then the top of the head rest is about the height of my chin, so it probably wouldn't affect me in terms of view, but it would feel more enclosed.

if you look at some of the seats, in the photo before the steps, that window line is so high, its taller than the seats.

Martijn has confirmed they'll enter service from September.


This is the second batch of 9x new electrics, which will enter service from September

They'll probs be going on the Q3, as there is a hint of Yellow on them

If there is 9 Q3 versas and 9 Yutongs set for arrival it would make sense

I love how I came into this thread just to see people fighting over where the NSA screen should be. 

On the other hand, if these are supposed to be entering service in September, then will they be recieving 72-reg plates or just 22-reg plates?

Would be nice for a mix of both

I would have thought the Yutongs would be for a route with a PVR of 8, meaning there would be a spare like for the 53/54, but I'm probably wrong.

8809 might be acting as a spare for both routes.

I thought that they would need at least 2 spares for them both, but I guess 1 would work too.

Realistically, does the spare even need to be electric?
It makes more sense to have the spare be a regular diesel as even a brand new one is half the price of an electric.

Did I not read somewhere that the 57 may go electric
