Question for Drivers of Class 323s.

[365 Networker]

How do 323s hold motor speeds, is it some form of speed set or a different system?
The video below shows what I am talking about:-

Play from 5:22.

I'm not a driver but I'll take a guess and say that they have REALLY good acceleration and deceleration which means that they have fast responding times.

Just the usual 4 power notch/Westcode 3-step + emergency Traction and Brake Controller.

The drivers manual doesn't list a speed speedset being fitted that I see, so imagine drivers either coast or run in whatever notch they need to maintain speed as required.

Thanks for both of your responses. Do 323s have a break-hold button? If it is could it be used to hold the motor speed?

They have a hill-start button which maintains a step one brake application while power is applied, it automatically releases at 6mph if not already deselected.

Ok, thanks for the info.

The manual for the class can be found by a quick googling if you want more info
