Bonus | Olive Grove Classics
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.

Nice one, please test driver new adl electrics
Nice to see the old ones. And to see the insides of a depot :)
Fairs styl
Soy de Ecuador me gustaría trabajar con uds
Great video, TFL& Fordcan you let those drivers less businesses on London roads by this summer. Thank you
That's a nice looking bit of kit what engines do they use?
It looks so nice
Sounds like a real rattle-trap !
I wonder if flixbus would ever think about coming to Gloucester
How much does it cost
Why Grindleford?
Well done. Can you let those buses to London roads by this Christmas please . Thank you
I saw BJ73WXP Fleet number 727 in the same livery in Oxford last Sunday.
First 😀👍
What is that racket?
And I do have a question here about the coach buses in Europe is there a reason why they couldn't be like North America torque converter transmission. Because they use the same style as a lorry Automated manual transmission
Is this one designed for the UK market?
Yes, they are buying 100's of those
Sodium battery: Charging time - 15 minutes Range - 150 km or more
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.
I wish they did it to route 69 bus from Walthamstow Central - Canning Town
Hopefully TfL helps them with the design. That forehead. 😱 ugly. And if that’s already had TfLs input, please remove the caveman look before production.
Hell nah wth is this? Bring back the K8SRs.
I had a feeling that BYD buses built for Europe would soon come to the UK market and I was right. But Ebusco and Switch Mobility have gone quiet with UK market
Switch have actually released their EV metrocities into London action recently
It may have good stats but its appearance is one of the ugliest I've seen... even the BYD B12Ds in Hong Kong look better when compared to this
Although the front and rear look kinda ugly, it does looks cool interior wise and engine I can't wait to see it in person
Yeah they definitely could have done something nicer for the body. Looks horrendous!
@@ItzHudsthe front looks fine, the back looks hideous
@@BeddingtonNational they both look horrible
@@ItzHuds the back I can understand, the fronts not as bad as u think
@@BeddingtonNational it's straight up horrible, no sugar coating it
I wish I could ride one of those bus
That's sounds like doubledeckeranton
How low before the battery catches fire ? The BYD electric battery buses in London had to be recalled because they were considered dangerous when the batteries caught fore. Absolute Chinese Rubbish.
Why this ad pushed the blade battery - that and being lfp even less likely catch fire. Unlike diesels/hybrids
@@GaryJohnWalker1 hybrids use electric drive too and both them and diesels have caught fires a few times
So far there hasn't been any BYD electric bus on fire so you are wrong.
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.
Cram work
Should put wrightbus to shame their electric busses are riddled with issues!
Thought BYD was the one with issues as its Alexander dennis bodied ones were taken out of service due to some fault. However, the one with issues were switch with their metrodecker ev DD's catching fire
Haven't heard to much about issues with the BYD electric busses, wright's are as bad such as hill assist sometimes it's works but then can put the bus into limp home mode unless it's reset correctly.. along with countless other issues!
@@philipbray880 blimey, thought Wrightbus would be 2nd best
@@anacondadoh-victoriousii sadly not even their diesel busess are just as bad small things like fuses to engine issues so not quite as good as wrightbus makes themselves out to be!
@philipbray880 perhaps there is no such thing as a diesel or electric bus made with no problems or faults.
Am I the only person who noticed that the bus at the roundabout didn't indicate when the bus😂 was leaving the roundabout?
The front is so ugly, seems like to be designed by a 10-year old.
prob took some inspirations from the e400city and exaggerated some of its designs. :)
As its built in China its probably built by some too😂
@@Grid56 what is that supposed to mean? Chinese people are very intelligent actually.
@@LJ07EBP Cheap labour, nothing to do with intelligence, though they do have a history of copying other peoles ideas. Check out Top Gear episode showing s%#t knockoff BMW X5 and Minis. Not to mention the billions of tonnes of eBay crap.
Nice, cant wait for them to hit production
all of this is good but they're so ugly man
Me too hopefully the batteries in these buses aren’t shit like the metrodeckers
@@Ali_20175 exactly
@@Ali_20175 yeah
Heard that this is too soon maybe replace the London BorisBus
its not confirmed, BYD want it to happen
@@LJ07EBP i rather want the new gen e400ev to replace the nrm instead of this. Cuz....i think this is kinda ugly.
@@hamburger7478 bro, honestly i see what you mean. For me, its mainly the front thats ugly. The rear looks clean. What makes the front ugly for me is the overuse of black paint that wasnt necessary there. Remember this bus is a prototype so the final product which you will see when batches start getting built might look abit better.
@@LJ07EBP Also the windows.... i hated those rounded windows corners so much.... Looks like a boat on the inside...
@@hamburger7478 😂 true
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
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.
Grear video, when will you guys test drive the e400ev mk2 or e100ev
120 years of history, gone forever.
11:31 these noises right here are just too good and here's one fact this is more like a musical bus 😂 but please someone tell me the name of thoes noises are and btw it's not the Indercator sound
They’re Artificial Warning sounds, that are placed in the front of electric buses, to warn people of an incoming bus since those electric buses were too quiet, and it was only there due to a EU law in 2020
That’s is incredible, especially the condition. I would have thought they would have held on to it. Very psychedelic Beatles to it

Thank You Very Very Very Very much for your time, help and support.
I watched the making of the Enviro 400 and it was just nuts! 67kg windscreen held in totally by its bonding sealant. This channel has always been superb in its presentation and it’s what got me into buses and OMSI 2 property
That's great to hear
Bus looks in fabulous condition. Just the right amount of rattles😂
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.

I travelled on B736 GCN along with other buses in the Johnson's/Redfern fleet. This was a VR running day organised by someone from the IOW. They are not a Nottingham local company but are based in Mansfield, Notts.
Most of there fleet would of been sold on
Most of them were leased, I think
