My cousin had a drive of OM1 yesterday, his words "The world's poo shitest bus! I'd rather ride a donkey"
I couldn't stop laughing. He said retarder doesn't work properly so you have to stand on the brakes to get the bus to stop, the halt brake for the doors is very temperamental and overall driving experience is backwards compared to the E400HCity

My cousin had a drive of OM1 yesterday, his words "The world's sh*t sh*test bus! I'd rather ride a donkey" I couldn't stop laughing. He said retarder doesn't work properly so you have to stand on the brakes to get the bus to stop, the halt brake for the doors is very temperamental and overall driving experience is backwards compared to the E400HCity I'm ended. Could it possibly be because it is just a demo bus.

I personally like the look of the metrodecker aside from the rear.
Right now though I am really liking the Evoseti aside front the front bottom 1/4.

CT Plus E400 City blinded for 20 Walthamstow Central That looks like a new number blind on the front, I assume a LED like the rest of the bus. Must have been fitted fairly recently like last week or so.

CT Plus E400 City blinded for 20 Walthamstow Central Nice to know that at least 1 of the new buses for the 20 exists. We're only 4 days away from the start of service and I'm not aware any have been delivered yet. That's not leaving much time for ETMs etc to be fitted and for any new drivers to be familiarised with them. Obviously some of the existing buses can be used for route learning etc.

Obviously some of the existing buses can be used for route learning etc. Lots update weekend before last says they were all complete and due for delivery last week. I know that - I posted about it. I've yet to see a photo of them on delivery (someone usually manages to get a snap on Flickr) nor a sighting of one in London. If they'd turned up at Ash Grove then I'd expect Mr CapitalOmnibus to have said something by now as he'd see them (unless he's on hols at the moment). There was nothing at Walthamstow garage last week - in fact there were NO red buses in the garage when I went past on my way to Sainsburys. There is usually a spare single decker plus two buses due out for PM workings - one for the 397 and one for the W19. It was full of welfare minibuses and coaches and no TfL spec vehicles. Never seen that before.

Never seen that before. I am hearing from multiple sources CT-Plus are sourcing buses from other operators for the Route 20 from Saturday. If 2 buses come from 388, 1 new city was on display at Excel yesterday, so that would mean 8? other buses would need to be sourced.

Interesting but not a huge shock given the "radio silence" about any of the new buses actually being delivered. Looks like there may be some local "heinz variety" from Saturday.

Maybe Go ahead could lend the current ones for a couple of weeks.
