想搭單問，BF63HFE仲有冇出車？HDE又有冇出過嚟行？
LVF says V6 was out on N12 last Friday. BF63HDE is at Heysham today, along with another B5TL demonstrator BF63HDG. Both have not been delivered to their respective operators, which I assume will be Metroline and Arriva London.

小弟大約一個月多前坐車返蘇格蘭時，
在M6公路對面線見到相信係dw411，
可能已經南下返左落來。 |

同埋第二句係差唔多時間之前(從倫敦巴壇)聽聞 Stagecoach 而家開始混能車都會用返標準內籠，
記得見過一張相係架新出牌 E400H 入邊油返標準既藍橙色而唔再油綠黃色
I have seen some pictures and can confirm that, at least for the London ones that are being delivered.

雖然呢批車幾乎係 B7TL 後唯一一批停車會打冷震既蛋，不過性能似乎相當唔錯，而且從多過一個巴壇既消息聽返黎都係話混蛋出車率極高 (有 97%，分分鐘高過 B9)
而且實戰之下油耗相當接近 Volvo 車廠聲稱既數字 (有 d 調較至慳油模式有時甚至做到第一次轉波後仍然係電力行走，再下次先有引擎介入)，唔知係咪呢兩個原因，舊年開始訂單可以爬到 E400H 頭
The B5LH is simply a more versatile bus comparing to the E40H. The reason is that the drivetrain that the E40H uses is tailored for citybus operations, which makes it work great in towns and cities. Once outside, they cannot adapt to longer interurban routes because they do not have the speed for such operations. I remember reading from somewhere that the E40Hs tops out at 40mph, which is not a lot.
The B5LH , on the other hand, has a drivetrain that is develop with a much wider operation in mind - Volvo developed the whole system with a mind of putting that not just on buses, but also on trucks. Having a parallel drive system also gives the quite a lot of power to the bus as well (diesel-electric combined gives 375bhp for Euro 5 version, or 400bhp for Euro 6 version), so speed and power is not really an issue.
In actual operation, I understand both the E40H and B5LH are very much on par, with the Volvo edging ahead on reliability. I guess it's all these factors that make the Volvo to become increasingly popular. The E40H had the edge initially by using a proven hybrid system, and operators' initial skepticism on whether parallel drive system will be any good in citybus operations. However, as time goes by with the Volvo proving up to the job, I'm not surprised to see it gaining ground in the last couple of years.

請問 LVF 係咪指
https://www.londonvf.co.uk/
呢度？除左呢度、 LT Free apps (android) 或者 Next Bus UK Live (WP) 重有無其他方法追縱倫敦巴士行蹤？
That's the one. Other than that this is another interesting site (although LVF is generally more informative):

另外又搭單問下 Heysham Docks 作用除左係 wrightbus 準備交貨或者上船運去其他地方既港口之外，係咪大概等於半個 Wrightbus 既私人車場咁用？
No that yard belongs to the dock. The only reason why we keep seeing Wright buses weekly is because it is a transit point for Wright's delivery run for their buses. Once off the boat from Belfast, the buses will be parked up under Wrightbus' delivery drivers pick them up, and drive them to wherever they are supposed to go. Buses tends to come in on Saturday afternoon, and by Wednesday that follows, the latest, they will be gone from the yard.
As for BF63HDE, I can only guess it has been out and about on test in the past few months. It is the first B5TL with the proper Gemini 3 bodywork (V6 is a hybrid, more a Gemini 2.5) afterall.
As for DW411, it was converted to Euro 6 spec and disappeared from the face of the earth after that. I thought I read that it had been delivered back to Arriva, but clearly hasn't! It does not bear any resemblance to the First examples though, because 39001-5 are hybrids, and Wrightbus took them in for conversion because the Gemini HEV, both Mk.1 and 2, are very unrealiable. It's not the first time Wrightbus did something like this anyway, you need to look no further than the Electrocities, specifically Go-Ahead London's WHY1-7. They have already done one, Arriva's HW4, which is in service in London for some months now, but is massively overweight - that thing is now some 13T, the heaviest double decker in service in London. On the up side, at least Wrightbus finally has a reliable hybrid drivetrain, after 7 years of trying...

題外話，原來拍埋睇 Wright/VDL d 車即使正常高度都矮矮地，之前九巴架 MCV/VDL 睇落都好似較到矮過 ATENU 一截
新換完偈個批 Wright/VDL 混蛋拍埋 B5/B9 度好似都係矮左一截咁，但車尾裙腳又整得非常低，睇落好似好易挖到車尾咁
I can only assume it has to do with the suspension settings. |

係咪回咗本就唔知,不過應該係同當地劃咗低廢氣排放區(Low Emission Zone, LEZ)有關,而且非常嚴格,有巴士營運商因此要另外購買新車,以符合當地法例,譬如Arriva (Sapphire 280號線),Oxford Bus Company等等

It is normal, services like the Oxford Tube means that the vehicles rack up a lot of miles in their life and a 5-year replacement cycle makes sure the service can be operated reliably, Other operators which runs services of similar kind, like Yorkshire Coastliner and First (on the Eastern Counties X1) do the same thing as well. |

，本黎我係想講早排(一個月前)從愛爾蘭巴壇聽聞兩間公司各自試歐六 Volvo 混蛋 
樓主
不過講到 2014 後先公佈既歐五瑞典車廠訂單
