The first time an Electroliner has stayed out late on route 307 4th February 2024

[@fearless_huseyin]

Good video Peter. Hope these buses will be 100% out on the 307 route by April 🎉 nice reflection shot 🤣

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, lol

[@Blueguy6666]

Great video Peter. I dont know why but this buses are amazing

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, and they are nice to drive

[@oasisblackcurrant]

I was at Little Park Gardens that exact evening. I was thinking if you would be on shift!

[@BristolRE]

👍👍

[@chandlerbstransport422]

Nice reflection and great video as always. Hope those finally get out soon

Thanks

Thanks

[@progamingderash4566]

These are great buses. But I will definitely miss the enviro 400 and some other ones.

[@BristolRE]

These are lovely

[@fernlew8828]

there's even a redesigned version of this bus

[@mohibj]

Electrics must be a surprise to evening passengers. By the way, at Uxbridge, could the reason behind 8 o'clock late starts be because most of their shifts don't have meal breaks?

[@BristolRE]

Could be, though straight through jobs are not financially viable to a company as they cannot be any longer than 6 hours, but must pay 7hrs 36 as per agreements

[@mohibj]

Yes companies will have to save more for those lovely shifts to become popular. If an UX route moved out, will the other garage be obligated for lates to continue starting at 8, especially if evening drivers preferred it?

[@mahammad]

I come back every few months when I've got a question that bothers me LOL. Why is it that the 329 says Enfield Town instead of just Enfield? The last stop hasn't changed for years. I think the 231 now displays Enfield Chase on the blind instead of just Enfield, are they getting rid of the latter voice announcements from all routes and do you know why? The visual display still shows Enfield but it's something that caught me off guard as I've been hearing the old one since I was a kid. The W3 now says Finsbury Park and leaves out the word station but still displays the word station, that change seems backwards. I miss when they didn't make changes to the ibus as often.

[@BristolRE]

Most odd some of these changes are

[@RoadkillGoat1]

Good video as always. How do you find them to drive any issues ? Apart from the charging obviously

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, the biggest issues relating to driving are the intelligent speed assist, really a pain doing 10mph in a 30 limit as it takes too long to update, and I prefer traditional mirrors over these camera things

[@GuyArab]

Wouldn’t mind sometime, your thoughts on the rear view cameras and setting up procedure.

[@BristolRE]

Setting up the bus / cab you mean? OK, can do that sometime whenever I get a decent amount of stand time which sadly is unlikely on the first half of a late shift

[@GuyArab]

@@BristolRE Great, thank you.

[@NextSound170]

Do they have to have electric buses? With all the issues, It would of been easier and probably cost effective to stay with Euro 6

[@BristolRE]

TfL policy has been for all new contracts to have electric buses for some time now

[@TawheedRahmanBengali]

Nice video keep it also i have a question Do you like the camera or the mirror

[@BristolRE]

Prefer a proper mirror

[@TawheedRahmanBengali]

@@BristolRE that nice

[@BusesAroundDaEastEndOffical]

Interior Lights: I'm the source of the drain :|

[@BristolRE]

Lol. Not really. It was on 68% when I took over and 45% when I returned it to the garage, so used 23% between 2025 and 0100 (or 6 x individual journeys), so not too bad, heating on as well in the cab

[@bottletopgirl]

Do you ever want to do other routes at E again or are you quite happy with the 307s?

[@BristolRE]

313 and 377 would be nice, but because I only do lates there'd be no need to swap my shifts so pointless type training now

[@billyandrews6342]

It will be interesting to see how they will manage to charge both the 307 and 279 Electroliners, cant imagine they'll install chargers inside?

[@BristolRE]

They will have to, they will lose one line of parking so assuming we retain the 192 we're expecting it to be transferred to EC

[@billyandrews6342]

@@BristolRE From what I've heard EC is suppose to close with the 259's and one other route to join the 76's and 254's in SF and 158's back to AR. Really moving the 192 makes the most sense. They could in all fairness more the 192 to AR even and have a common pool with the EN and ENN's there

[@BristolRE]

Is there that much room at SF? @@billyandrews6342

[@billyandrews6342]

@@BristolRE There's a fair bit, I believe it used to house the 254, 73's and 76's at one point. Capacity must be around the 60-70 buses mark by that metric

[@EastLondonAmbassador]

Wonder how will these turn out on the 279 . The garage will not probably have a lot of problems I think

[@BristolRE]

It will be interesting

[@MostlyTransport]

It will probably be those facelift ones like the ones you will see on 306 and soon to be 242
