I drive a mixture of Solo’s and enviros. We got some Volvo envora’s just recently (not driven them yet). Maybe I’ll do a vid on what I’m driving on Monday morning.
I've never driven the solos kinda feel like I've missed out. You should definitely have a go at record. I started out with my mobile phone and so free editing software called davinci
@@anthonyleecooke maybe colab one day and do a north west/south west comparison! The difference really is that your front wheels are in front of you! A pain if you forget and end up hitting a curb! lol
Yes Micro switches, magnetic circuit breakers and switchable live circuits through the ramp handle can cause many problems. Wasn't too keen driving these as the turning circle wasn't very good on many of our routes also the driving position is offset and the dipped headlights are crap lol
Haven't you said on one of your streams once that the 464 Versas are to be replaced? By Flyer ones i believe? I know you said something along those lines but i can't be bothered going back to find it now...
I think I said I suspect that we will get our vehicle back from Flyer. So 3 of the 464 are currently working as flyer's but do suspect that they will replace these buses soon as they had numerous issues with them.
One difference between the two, which bugs me a lot, is the destination blind, on the purplies it's very bright and a real pain to photograph in low light as it always looks burned out, but I never had a problem with the Blackburn or Burnley Oprates, so I'm guessing it's a brighter LED that is being used on that version? Any idea what became of 278? I have photographs of it back in 2018 when they arrived, but it is no longer shown in current fleet lists. There were also two grey/black ones as well, 292 & 293 and that made an initial fleet of 16, so that's three that no longer seem to exist now. Maybe hidden in scrapper's corner somewhere?🙂
I believe it went to Flyer and was integrated into there fleet now some documents do suggested it maybe withdrawan but I would have to ask around might take me a minute to find out its history. I do believe we might be getting all the flyer buses down at Blackburn in the winter. I also didn't know there was a difference with the LED boards but I know what you mean I've had issues photographing them at night. Maybe is cause they newer and haven't burnt in yet or it's a different board I can ask and find out
@@will_n775 take the interior and the driver's seat from the 464, the gearbox and re axle from and engine from the 16 plate. The safety feature of the 464 and then you might have a perfect bus.
@@BT63UUP congratulations you win £2. Message me on discord or twitter and I will PayPal it across. Yep it's down as Accrington Stanley football club but they used the wrong image and put Fleetwood dkwn.
I love the 3 lights going left
They look nice don't they
@@anthonyleecooke yes
I was just wondering ant, are you able to go to that Harrogate B7? It is ok if you can’t 😊
Oh I keep forgetting about that yea I definitely have a look around it

@@davidrichens4453 I like the sound of it. At Burnley bus Co like we were given a demo but our Depot just doesn't carry them

Something I didn't mention was the turning circle it caught me out right away cause I was used to the B10 (what we learnt with)
That’ll be the OM934 5.1litre engine in those 464 Versa’s mate, same engine that goes in Streetlites,Decks, GB Hawk you name it 😅
Yea that's the bugger, I couldn't remember the official name for it. For some reason it seem not to be happy in our vehicles

16 plate is a beast👌👌 6.7l 6pot cummins engine
Got to love how it puts the power down when you need It. I would like a mix of the two cause there are features I would take from both buses
@@anthonyleecooke Yeah that would be perfect 👌👌

they look similar to the trentbarton ones inside
They are very similar there's just little differences in spec due to them bring the model back from transdev
Acrrington Stanley?
It's meant to be Accrington Stanley but it is not their ground
Accrington Stanley?
Close but no cigar ( it's meant to be Stanley)
I'm interested these buses have "Muriels" [sic] on the back!!
Yea I think 10 of them have locations around the route I will try to make a video or short around it
464 versas better in my opinion
I can see we're you're coming from I would definitely like a cross over though
@@anthonyleecooke I like em better cuz the engine sounds like a beast imo when it’s going past you
16 plate versas are better in my opinion
I could understand that. I think the 18 plates look a little better inside of the saloon for the passenger. I would like a mix of both 16/18 plates
Burnley fc
Good team. I support Blackburn but I have respect for Burnley and hope they have s good season and don't beat us too badly
@@anthonyleecooke no the mural
@@BT63UUP nope close but no cigar
