Not Great: Arriva North East 1559/NK14 GGV Wright StreetLite DF Max Micro-Hybrid

[@LJ07EBP]

This is not a micro hybrid but nice video! What is bad about this one?

[@LAMtransport76]

Once again the Bodywork is Max Micro-Hybrid. This one is in limp mode and would probably be way better if it weren't.

[@LJ07EBP]

@LAMtransport76 Nah the body work is wrightbus streetlite DF. Hybrid for vehicles is when electric motors and a engine is both working together to drive the wheels. This is fully diesel with a engine so its not a hybrid. Micro Hybrid isnt just bodywork. I can tell its not limped with how the thing is shifting on early rpms and the rpm is slowly crawling. Its a slow driver

​@LJ07EBP it's a wright integral mate 😂 how hard is it to understand mate. it's a micro hybrid. This one is absolutely awful. Who the hell are you to judge buses while living all the way in London mate? Have you even been on a bus here, yet outside London?

[@MiracTheEpic]

​@@LJ07EBPyou haven't been on it. You can't judge the bus 😂. You haven't been on this heap on the 7 or 16 before. Its falling apart.

Not the worst out of the fleet to be fair. My least favorite I think is 1551. I was on that a few weeks ago and it was awful. I also went on 1410 today and yeh its great at high revs sure, but you can definitely tell it's knackered.

[@LAMtransport76]

I agree with 1551 being terrible however I disagree with 1410 being knackered I'd say its tired but not knackered that just seems a bit over the top. I've just came home from a long day of recording I recorded 1562, 1468, 1491, a 2 part recording of 7578 (that means I've completed all 4 of the Whitby MMCs), 4718, 1438, 1422 (which is tracking as 1564), 4710, 1490 and 1455. I got on 1562 again later in the night on the 5 and didn't record it. I also got on 1557 but it was too busy to record on.

[@NorthEastTravel1]

@LAMtransport76 Nice man. I still need to get 7579 when it returns. I was also out and got a few Pulsars and Temsas today myself 1410 (Twice), 4709, 1439, 4721, 1420 and 1457. That's also me done now until the new year. At the start of the year I want to go on some of the last Temsas but only on X2/X3 or X4 services along the A66 to get a sample of their speed. Also gonna be doing some Stagecoach MMC's on the 1 and 2 (Saltburn Circular) Routes.

@@NorthEastTravel1 The second time I was on 1562 today it had some problems, the driver phoned the depot and he got told to continue with it.

[@LAMtransport76]

I'll also try and do the Stagecoach Saltburn circular routes on my 2nd week off from work. I'll go out on Monday and Saturday next week and enjoy my Christmas. On the second week I'll be out recording most days.

[@NorthEastTravel1]

@LAMtransport76 Ohhh, I was orginally on 4722 today aswell on the X3 to Middlesbrough but it would shift out of First Gear so we plodded from Redcar to the Dormanstown Depot around 5 - 10MPH. We then switched onto 1420 which was a BEAST. Seen both the Solo SR's in the Depot with parts off. I genuinely think they should throw them away. Apparently they were bad at Yorkshire too which is no surprise.
