I drove these when new, an engineer told be these were crap and wouldn't last more than 10 years (compared to B10s). Well respect to the humble B7RLE that's worked hard up and down Bradford Road for 18 years now! And respect to the Keighley engineers for making that happen 👏
Keighley have always looked after the buses they had. Think that's partly why the B10s lasted so long! 🤣 Mind, we're saying the StreetDecks won't last 10 years 😂
@@steady_94 I think the will. Like the layout and colour scheme. But electric vehicles are environmentally friendly. Already watched your review of the new vehicle.
@@That1TransportLover Still no idea 😄 I don't think they know, cos they don't know what they're ordering it seems. I'm hopeful for a large fleet of E400 City BYDs just to provide extra space since 662s, The1s and Flyers are all fairly busy services. If they're smart, they'll brand the Shuttles as #StarClass
They have now confirmed the order for 15 eCitaros

The other day saw one of the new 662 electrics in passenger service. Near my Crossflatts home.
It was the demo which has returned to Keighley again.
@@steady_94 I see it on my High Street Jake which you where on at the start of the video
I am a heavy Shuttle 662 user. Looking forward to the electrics.
Will you miss these older models on the route?

@@Shinkansen1966 Yeah cannot wait to see what the next spec will be!
Same 😂. Think they are changing brand name and livery. So I’ve heard

I like the shuttles every 10 mins I never seen a double decker shuttle before
They sometimes put Geminis and Presidents on when Bradford FC play at home
@@steady_94 if bradford gets the same network as leeds will the bus flags say the shuttle on them for 662
@@kylepittendreigh8401 Metro may just update the flags for all of WY anyway. But it would seem likely that they use the new logo
@@steady_94 yeh I been on double decker on the 662 a few years a go.
Nice Video Jake
Ta Very Much dude 😁 😁
@@steady_94Still got the B7 Eclipse buses
This may be a stupid question but how come these 05 plate B7RLEs have newer eclipse bodywork?
I think I explain at some point in the video so I won't give anything away.
Wait they are electrifying the Shuttles?
Indeed among other routes
