That wont happen in 5 years.
Ideally it would but currently technological developments aren't quick enough to limit the further affects of climate change if that is the case.

If a dual-clutch variant was fitted it'd do without the lengthy gap between gears.Yeah we have it at lcb ,works a treat ,on the subject of B5 lh is when it pulls away in not sure which gear as display only shows D obviously varies depending on situation, is when pulling away at a round about it dose this big rev round to 2200rpm then a pause of what feels like an eternity then next gears come fine ,cars are on you before you know it ! However mid range torque is excellent,actually puts a smile on your face and they gather speed very quickly thereafter, the ex bulocks one's are the same ,572 was my fav when we had it on loan from lothian, just an example of the torque is going over wet motorway bridge expansion gaps it will spin the wheels momentarily,can only assume it's the electric motor that provides that ?
I'm away on the 13th of April, that's really annoying!!!
Lothian 100th birthday next year and its planning on some events to mark it: View attachment 56210
Next week?!! oh my goodness, I was sure it wasn't going to be until February!https://twitter.com/on_lothianbuses/status/1071336121718722560
Lothian's ALX400s might be getting launched next week.

They wont. And they arent ALX400's. They're Enviro 400 XLB bodied B8TL's.
That's due to be mid 2019 as far as I'm awareI'm led to believe it is regarding the launch of contactless payments.
The last ALX400s were sold in 2016, but some electric or Hybrid engined equivalent would be interesting.https://twitter.com/on_lothianbuses/status/1071336121718722560

Could be, but I wish they'd announce when and where the launch will be...I thought the B8L's would launch on 3rd Feb 2019. Makes me wonder why they have used the pic of the B8L in that tweet... Still, as Flybe said, it's probably a soft launch in Castle Street like they did with the 7905LH's.
Reminds me of a similar scene in 1991 when the Lynxes were launchedOn Twitter now. The buses were launched at Edinburgh Castle.

You never know, it is possibleSo in 2027 there will all be sold off and never talked about again..

They're currently being rolled out at Longstone this month, then Central next month and Marine in November.
Contactless payment should be coming in January, from what I've been told.

When it does eventually launch do we know if it will work like Oyster with daily capping?That's due to be mid 2019 as far as I'm aware
