The new order for the Central Lakes 555 service. A disappointment sadly, with very lacklustre performance. Filmed climbing out of Grasmere, for Keswick, Sunday 23rd April 2023.
Sounds lovely! Love the whiny retarder sound when it sets off! Guessing the drivers dont want to break them in too much just yet haha. Wonder how long they will last on this exhausting route before things start to break or fail. Also.... Well done for been the first to upload a video of 1 of the new 555 deckers.
We have them on the 125 route in Preston. I feel they are a very flawed product. I find the ride quality to be shocking. They are just not nice to travel on. 😒 stuck with them now.
Not only that but I would go as far as saying that they should have gone for Scania N250UD E400 MMCs, as they are far more suited to long distance routes like the 555. Unfortunately, rumours say that the Scania N250UD E400MMC is no longer being produced (I am assuming that's because of Scania's new Fencer F9 integral double decker)
@@LJ07EBP If you come to Belfast and ride one. You will know why I dislike them mate. Not a patch on the Enviro 400 MMC Hybrids and they look cheap and nasty inside.
We received our 73 Plates today (01/11/23) at Ashton Depot only about 3 at the moment, not sure exactly how many were getting yet, but will be looking forward to driving one.
They could get elevenlabs voices in the future for uniqueness considering there is a voice design feature and more realism in the TTS. Tested it remaking the red arrow voice messages.
