Never did test on that one either, with real passengers on board (aka revenue service testing). They do make them as hybrids. They could of got input on how the riding public felt about that. That one I am fond of the design too. It did have the upright engine, like most buses do, unlike the Hool. I can understand why they might of not decided to get the Hool. It would cost alot to train the amount of mechanics we have at the TA, to work on that kind of engine. Plus we really don't have the space in the depots to make room for engines that have to be accessed from the side. It's tight already. But the nova LFS artic, has a common type of bus engine, it comes as a hybrid, and it should of been thoroughly tested. More routes need artics, as they are showing at Baisley Park. Instead of wasting time testing this thing, they should be focused on testing artics. We have a supplier of 40ft hybrid buses, and it does keep upstate with jobs. Time to test what really needs to be tested. |
