A little extra footage this week from when we test drove the Yutong U11DD, courtesy of First Bus in Sheffield. Staff arranged a small welcoming committee for the bus, which was tested on the city’s route 51, in the form of two previous bus types used on the busy cross-city route: a Dennis Dominator and Alexander PS Type/Volvo B10M.
Thanks go to First South Yorkshire, Pelican Bus & Coach, and the South Yorkshire Transport Trust.

    The team that came up with this blurb needs a kick up the arse. “Kilowatts per hour” not a thing “Rare metals such as cobalt and nickel” again not a thing. Those aren’t “rare” metals, they’re extracted quite easily. Nickel has been used for centuries and still primarily gets used to make Stainless Steel. They’re also not “rare earth elements” as defined in the periodic table.

      This is pure and simple LIE. ALL PSVs have to be safety certified. There have been no announced recalls of electric busses. It just hasn’t happened otherwise the scaremongering press would have been all over it. Just like recent airport fires (not EV btw). The only busses taken out of service was some coaches in France as I recall, can’t remember the cause AirCon or H2 but I don’t remember.

    God this particular one puts our ones in Hull to shame. Ours are with East Yorkshire and are all the same batch, fleet numbers 901 to 910. All have been converted for diesel running (non hybridised) and all have rather peculiar issues including overheating and being some of the slowest moving vehicles in service but I suppose that's what happens when you try and move 11 tonnes with only an 145hp generator engine.

    The olympian, last of the proper double deckers, like the Nationals for single deck. The olympians used round us were Gardner + semi-auto, our National 2s having TL11 +semi. Changing gears also became a dying art after these. Easier in traffic nowadays for the driver but much less fun, although I'm not sure I would like to go all the way back to crash boxes. Give me syncromesh or semi auto every time.
