Excellent - will you be driving it? Smile

I'm having my familiarisation on it tomorrow but I'm off Wednesday. It's a nice looking vehicle though looks a tad smaller than the Cadet...


RE: WBT Network Warrington - Valandil - 31/07/2017 18:56

I wonder how it will compare with YX61 EKO, the Enviro 200 demonstrator trialled in Warrington in 2012.

YX17 NNM is on the 28, just left Warrington. It's doing a number of routes.

There's a little more about it here:

They've mentioned USB's, no mention of wifi. It does have wifi but I couldn't do anything on the internet with it.

He made the right choice picking the Enviro to try out instead of the Wrongbus Streetwreck

Considering the StreetDeck and Enviro200 are completely different vehicle types I don't really understand this comment. If any Wrightbus vehicle is trialled then it will be the StreetLite - although this type has already been on demonstration so whether it is again I'm not sure. With the StreetLite now featuring a Daimler engine instead of Cummins I suppose it's a possibility

Interesting route change to the 14/15:

EDIT: Not sure about the evening/weekend route changes.
For the evenings, I imagine it would be more likely for the 32E to be the one changing, rather than 15E.
For weekends, maybe they just mean Saturdays, but if it is Sundays, then I would have thought they would change the 30 rather than 15A, but I could be wrong.

Another demonstrator is due here shortly. I don't know what type though
