Inside Alexander Dennis's Bus Manufacturing Site // 27/4/24 

The Spirit of London Enviro 400 was the first ever made and stagecoach used it as a direct replacement for the bus blown up in the London bombings in 2005. I believe at some point it had a fire upstairs but was repaired. I dont think its used in service anymore its preserved.

most city buses in singapore and hongkong uses triaxles. There are also a couple of e500s in germany and swizerland as well, also used as city buses

24:20 it's a dart from hong kong citybus. I dont think singapore ever had darts actually, not sure about that tho.

the E500EV you went inside of is a production model for KMB in Hong Kong - the words on the seats are in Traditional Chinese the seat design isn't especially new, KMB has used them on all new buses since 2017, and all buses since 2019 have had seatbelts installed they get away with harder seats as most journeys are around 30 minutes, and they need the extra thinness since it's very high density the displays in the front are full colour LCD screens and not dot matrices (oh and there aren't any reading lights)

The Harrogate Bus Company order 19 Enviro400 EV Double Decker Buses that will be arriving this Summer 😊

22:20 i think it's a duple metsec body. I remembered there are some dennis tridents with this bodywork in hong kong back in the early 2000s

Extreme mega stuff 🔥💪

🥶🥶

Like the video - nice to hear your commentary!

A little someone was there aswell👀 great footage!

11:51 it’s a 1999 ALX400 Trident If it was 2001 it would be on the Y reg or 51 plate

very nice video! Was this event open to the general public? So annoyed i missed this! :(

The three-axle double deckers are the norm of public busses in Singapore and Hong Kong. The green ADL 500 was probably the 1st prototype of the Singapore specifications[Note the lush green livery].

Fact - The Alexander Dennis Enviro 500ev is available for UK use if there is demand.

Farnborough is an airport, not an air base. Primarily used by private biz jets. The tower is an ATC (Air Traffic Control) Tower.

I like the Enviro 400FCEV the most

The enviro 200 chassis you saw is ready to have a body to be built. It hasnt got 4 spare tyres, its normal to have 4 wheels on the rear axle to balance the weight of the vehicle. Buses dont have spare tyres. The bus with Chinese writing on the seats is built for exprort to hong kong.

18:18 you can't be serious lol, it's a 1989-1990 G-reg on the previous (1983-2001 "prefix") reg system. notice how the second digit is a number (5) not a letter (S). the G is the age identifier, the 515 is the unique identifier, and the VYE is the area identifier. whereas on the current (2001-2051) system, GS (let's say) would be the area identifier, 15 would be the age identifier, and VYE would be the unique identifier. 19:27 that's a P-reg, so 1996-1997

What is the legroom for a 6ft - 6in person? Probably not good if suburban buses I have used are anything to go by!

We have some electric things starting in service soon

Will ireland get these brand new enviro200 and 400 (not the hybrid ones)

But are there any crash tests done to check how safe it is for the driver?

Thought the factory was in Guildford. The exhibition centre is in Farnborough?
