@@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC does to me, not really much difference between them.

@@DaniThePancakeWarrior hmm, I was informed the loud whining noise is from the gearbox. You hear the same thing on B9TLs too sometimes, not sure what the cause is then.

@@EnviroExplorer It could be; there's still a lot of mechanical things I don't know well about buses. Could you link me a B9 that sounds like that?

@@ThingsWithEngines cheers, I’ve had a few bad experiences with them over the years but got to appreciate them now with numbers diminishing! Connexions is well worth your time, I’d like to catch their ex Scottish ones but seem to stay on school work

Thay ware hit or miss some were good some were very slow

Some of them do - I don't hear it very often. I can link a video of a bus with a very loud Ecolife, but I know RUclips used to often class comments with links as spam, so I'll send it in a separate comment and see what happens. But, generally, I've heard Ecolife boxes more on B8Ls, some E50Ds in Hong Kong, and some of Reading's gas Scania Enviro300s. At most, I think I've only heard an Ecolife from three E40Ds.

Yes I like the Arriva LK65s. Ecomats will always beat an Ecolife for me, most NXWM E40Ds are very similar hence I rarely upload them, Ecomat buses have another level of character and charm these will never have.

​​@@EnviroExplorerEcomat are great as well, I only have 4737 recorded as my Ecomat, there than that, most my bus riding vids are just MMCs.

Not on loan, won’t be returning to Wolverhampton

@@EnviroExplorer true, replaced with ex PB MMCs

Not local so I wouldn’t know

They are absolutely disgraceful! always at the side of the road waiting on a mechanic there is usually one broken every single week ! it’s rare not to see one in limp mode or stinking of fumes. Was on this exact one last week and it was going up the dual carriageway at 20mph ! they get fixed then a few days later something else goes wrong. I use these regularly and safe to say i will not miss them in the slightest ! 13052 had an absolute fortune spent on it recently with new batteries and it packed up the first day it went back out 🤣

@@scottishtransportvideos264 Thats just lack of maintenence... not an actual manufacturing defect??, I only see ones with knackered turbos or exhausts but thats about it.

@@Daring4911 took me by surprise I’ll tell you that

@@rgwill2009 4687-4696

Used to to till 4717 but sent to Dundee

@@TheMidlandsTransportGuy 4700-17 were ZF so not referring to those

Shame to hear that, was definitely one of my highlights of the trip

@@SimonCap all of the 06, 56 and some 07 plate Stagecoach E400s are Euro 3. Slowly being withdrawn now though

Those are K250s, not being referred to.

@@EnviroExploreroh

Definitely yes, doesn’t help it’s down on power too

Glad you enjoyed :) they are very rare yes, Midland Classic had most of them with most still with Diamond after their takeover

I mean they are over 20 years old now. This one is a bit slow but isn’t bad otherwise

@@spacecowboy151 it was easily the worst of the NX Tridents in recent times though

Glad you enjoyed! And thanks for that list, I think a few of those saw their final services during my visit as I remember seeing them disappear off bustimes lol

@@busesinthemidlands certainly, not sure how I missed that lol. Glad you liked it

Don’t blame you, I do the same with Tridents more local to me whilst they’re still here! Back to 18081 it’s really quite impressive for the age, one I’m pleased to have recorded :)

@@popcornloot9719 I don’t unfortunately, I’m sure there’s videos out there from other people though

BKG is the last one and the rest your stating have been scrapped replaced by brand new 6 pot enviro 200mmc which are rapid!

@@TomEC794 what??!!! Nooo way, those tempos are a part of history, if I knew that I’d literally have bought one of them. Such a shame, they could have made money by selling them to Richard’s Bros lol, YJ55 BKN needs reuniting with her siblings

@popcornloot9719 they were smoking badly and struggling to start their replacements are very nice I just miss the side seats

@@TomEC794 do you have any more footage of them, did they have a loud cooling fan like YJ55 BKN?
