Today saw the first day in service of Anglian's latest Metrobus reject sorry refurbished transfer Scania 554 YN55 PZC. Despite being transferred up for the 88 it was out on the 61/7 today. I caught it from Norwich to Yarmouth, the ride is good and apart from a horrible vibration from the destination display access door when stationary it rattles less than 556 does.
However for the entire length of the journey there was a constant bleeping noise which was extremely irritating and clearly shouldn't have been there. So let's see how long 554 lasts compared to 556.

Sorry for the lack of posts in recent days. Hopefully normal post frequency will resume soon and to those who have sent in contributionsany thanks and they'll be up in due course.
Did the beeping stop ? I saw there's 2 more ready according to Hants and Dorset le:-) let's hope its not a new design feature
ReplyDeleteOne of those two is 556, sent back down for remedial work to be done. That had better be better when it returns. No the bleeping didn't stop!

ReplyDeleteThanks David, I hope others make the effort to ride it while it's still around.
DeleteDo we know if Galloway will buy any?
DeleteGood question! Over to you, David!
DeleteReject was the correct term.
ReplyDeleteWell hello stranger! Who are you driving for now - if anyone? A certain operator is getting very short staffed again!
