Test Drive | Wrightbus Electroliner

[@ItzHuds]

My dream is to cab one of these, they are the best!

[@zandram8787]

I seen some electroliners today heading towards Dawley Road Garage

[@hatsoffhairdownpodcast]

Is this like a New Facelift of the Streetdeck Bodywork? the Rear End looks different from the Standard Streetdeck like a Hong Kong spec with the Cooling Units, lease they made the rear upperdeck window bigger, also sounds of the indicators are from Volvo lol!

[@londonbusfanrex]

No, this is a completely new bus (MK1 Wright Electroliner) and recently they have been rolling out the brand new MK2 with rotated front lights

[@DISCOPlayz]

11:31 these noises right here are just too good and here's one fact this is more like a musical bus 😂 but please someone tell me the name of thoes noises are and btw it's not the Indercator sound

[@BabyKee]

They’re Artificial Warning sounds, that are placed in the front of electric buses, to warn people of an incoming bus since those electric buses were too quiet, and it was only there due to a EU law in 2020

[@LB237YT]

Its called the Artificial warning sound and to watch it u need to go to search and type Zelig sound

[@lucythemoggy1970]

its for blind people, to let them know there is a bus there. been in place since 2021

[@DISCOPlayz]

@lucythemoggy1970 ik now I searched it up on Google knowen it for a while since I put that comment on this video

[@xanpagebrown]

I noticed that the indicator sound doesn't match up with the indicators flashing

[@LB237YT]

Agree

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video 😁

[@pellertransportguy]

Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann in Ireland are getting them too 😉

[@pipeqez911]

yeah there was two visible in TFI livery in the video.

[@Mcninch951]

I work in wrightbus and we actually have to store them because the South doesn't actually have the infrastructure in yet

[@thewesternway]

It still have the same bus sound speed as the enviro200ev and enviro400ev but expect its so loud abit because its so close to it

[@KaiCheetah]

Fun fact: the Abelilo logo has the NS logo as they own them out right

[@mrkrisps4489]

NS?

[@k0les584]

Whats ns?

[@dreamflyer1988]

[@bagremhosvacoco6055]

It's now owned by its UK management

[@fishdead7285]

Why everytime when you slowdown and stop the bus plays music?

[@stearmaster6.756]

What bus music

[@BusTrainsGuy20]

Its to let people know that a vehicle is approaching, all buses that are Electric have this noise, especially Electric cars. Edit: Its a legal requirement for Electric vehicles to still have a noise so thats what they have in all of them or else accidents will happen.

[@fishdead7285]

@@BusTrainsGuy20 ahhh okay thanks for letting me know

[@blob7282]

@@fishdead7285 It's especially for blind people who can't see when a silent electric bus is approaching

[@fishdead7285]

@@blob7282 yeah that makes sense now thank you! I kinda like the noise

[@TransporterTony]

I wonder how they recorded the bus route lol, like did they use a GoPro and some tape or something, quite interesting it is

[@RWL2012]

magnetic mount?

[@zandram8787]

There were in Blyth Road

[@oforid2227]

I like the positive spin... "...and an extra display screen above means wheelchair users have easy access to on-board information" = Wrightbus couldn't fit the new style bigger iBus display on the stair bulkhead, so had to make do with an old style LED display there whilst bunging the new larger display above the windows.

[@Randomtv19645]

I hope they go on the 196

[@TLBNation]

It literally uses hybrids, so no

[@Randomtv19645]

@@TLBNation it needs to stop using hybrids

[@TLBNation]

@Randomtv19645 and why should it? The route would most likely keep them as they are compliant

[@yuko147]

what the beeping sound on the background?

[@RhdhrrhhDhdhfhfh]

It’s an artificial sound played through speakers at the front of the bus. It’s to let people who have difficulty seeing know that the bus is coming. Instead of using the horn.

[@neelsharma343]

Why does it sound like the Enviro400EV ? Or the Enviro200EV

[@RhdhrrhhDhdhfhfh]

All electric buses in London are now equipped with an artificial noise that alerts people who have difficulty seeing. It’s the same noise used on all EVs. Some hybrid buses also got the noise because they were quiet.

[@TyshelbWatford]

I like the new abellio London wrightbus electrolimer

[@thomasfluskey5922]

I guess I will have to get used to the fact the small window on the top deck doesn’t match with lower deck small window and the other small window on the top deck

[@transportenthusiast11]

I thought these buses would be a lot worse than the ones they replace, but for once i'm actually looking forward to it.

[@mrkrisps4489]

I actually had to mute the video because of that stupid slowing down and accelerating noise, I get it’s a legal requirement but is that all they could think of, some irritating and disorienting noise?!

[@enviro_400_life]

Eu regulations obligated electrics vehicles should produce sounds for people on roads who cannot heard electric vehicles because they’re quiet

[@drummingriffin]

I also get that it's a legal requirement but that would drive me nut doing that all day long 😮

Great to drive but if only the build quality would be better. The dashboard tends to “open” die to the “smooth” London roads.
