    https://www.route-one.net/news/libertybus-to-introduce-22-otokar-vectio-c-midis-to-jersey-in-2026/ You know, the South West wouldn't go far wrong with Liberty Bus Jersey's Otokar Vectio C buses. 2.3m wide, but 9.6m long. I think Liberty Bus and Otokar are working on an electric version. It...

    Stagecoach South West - Fleet News & Discussion

    The BZLs were from a ZEBRA bid for the 4, A, and C. I understand a Volvo demonstrator was also tested (without passengers) on other routes, including the I and J. The C might have to remain diesel powered for a while. Since the bid was made, the clearance below the low bridge at Tan Lane was...

    Stagecoach South West - Fleet News & Discussion

    They are at the dealers. I've actually been to the dealers (with permission) and had a viewing. They are 10.8m Volvo BZLs in dark blue. Unfortunately, I am not permitted to share any of my pictures until they are on the road.

    I know about that, I meant the larger panel by the disabled bay.

    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    To be honest, I was only guessing it's actual function. What is it?

    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    The panel also appears to contain some sort of disabled alarm call system. I guess any modifications to that panel would have involved more paperwork. It's worse than that. The 321s are slightly wider than the Voyagers, and don't have a tilt profile. 3+2 in a Voyager body would be an absolute...

    Obsolescence of electronic components on early computer era traction

    Haven't there already been experimental 3D printed microcircuits? As for the 91, I assumed its computer systems had been replaced in the 91/1 upgrade?

    Electrostar and Turbostar- Why so many differences?

    I suspect the general Electrostar/Turbostar differences are simply down to their intended use on very different services. The Electrostars were built for intensive commuter lines, particularly in London, carrying large numbers over relatively short distances. The Turbostars were largely intended...

    IET availability

    Might the problem be that these things simply can never be made to work, no matter how hard anyone tries, at least as bi-modes?
