Yutong have made electric deckers for Singapore

McGills went to the world leader of electric buses. Yutong have sold more electric buses worldwide than BYD. Why not go to the No1 supplier.

If comparing diesel version the NFI is a heavyweight chassis akin to the B8RLE, rather than the flimsy lightweight chassis of the E200. If you look at the E200)BYD electric chassis, that is a heavyweight chassis so will be closer to the NFI model .... and expect ADL bodies to be lighter than...

And if it does not go ahead, the opportunity will be lost as the land will no longer be available, so will never happen.

And I am sure there are sections that can be removed to shorten the chassis. Why would a company reinvent the wheel when it already has the answer. ADL is just a trading name for NFI, you have to face facts, ADL is essentially an American company now.

NFI, ADLs parent company produces it's own electric chassis for the American market. Not sure how long the ADL/BYD partnership tie up is for, but can see NFI wanting ADL to body their technology at some point in the future.

The date of registration is the important date, not the date first used on the road. If they were formally registered before 1st Sept, they would have benn 20-reg, registered on or after 1st Sep, they would have 70-reg plates. All 28 HTs were provisionally allocated 20-plate registrations, but...

Think the dirty and it can kill you message came from within the industry and UNITE, particularly London.

National Small Series Type Approval limits you to a production run of 250 units for vehicles of M2 and M3 classes, buses and coaches.

They beat the RMT and things have improved ... None of the others have ... Any correlation?

Not entirely true Heathrow has free Wifi

As I understand it David Martin is part of one of the parties looking to take over Arriva ... get his old job back! Assume that is where he is funnelling his efforts.

National Rail have released proposal for the upgrade (virtual rebuild) of Norwood Junction Station. This is expected to be the precursor to the 'Unblocking The Croydon Bottleneck' programme ... but both projects currently unfunded...

Created before the law was changed ... so has grandfather rights. These community transport 'companies' are operating in a grey area of the law

Trouble is the Capital raised would be retained by the remaining First US/UK Rail ... not the UK Bus spin-off. IPO or a share splitting would not be much difference as far as UK Bus in concerned ... largely depends if that is what Capital and other shareholders want as it will no doubt have to...

Trouble is the individual has no reponsibility under 'DDA' law ... the company does ... so the passenger is not breaking any law ... the company is by not having the space vacated. If a passenger refuses to leave ... you can imagine the bad press if a driver removes the buggy from the bus ...

This is not the first time Abellio have obtained confidential information about another parties tender ... they had their Limburg contract contract cancelled and awarded to Arriva ... with Abellio executive criminally charged ... here is hoping that nothing went on along those lines again -...

I think you are mistaken about what the derogation process is ... and what is allowed for. It allows for thing like button being a few centimetres outside the requirements. Derogation certainly doesn't apply for wholesale changes that were not made due to completly shambolic planning. If TfW...

How times have changed. When I dared to suggest the DOO disputes where about protectioism and job secuirty, I was largely shouted down as a lone descending voice on the Southern thread as told it was purely down to safety!
