RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
The Enviro400's are far from perfect, they're not powerful enough to keep time on a busy stop/start route that has a few hills as well. But they're a massive step up from 15 year old DLA's. I saw 0914 following 4406 on Monday off the overleigh roundabout. It looked very much like the reason it had caught up was more to do with 4406 having a full standing load and 0914 being lightly loaded than the speed of the vehicle. That particular journey picks up hordes of school kids from Kings and can be sat for 5/6 minutes loading them.

Maybe the Enviro400's lack of power is something to do with the electrical upgrade for Sapphire? Other examples I've sampled don't seem to have this problem. Definitely something they need to look at.
