Ashington

This and 7550 are at Blyth currently, I think due to high VOR. Imagine they will come back at the start of next week when Ashington PVR goes back to normal.

Absolutely will do. Typically I aim for 2m 30 - 3 nins sort of range as that's all I typically manage to watch

@@ryanstransport7574 yeah 2:30-3 min is good generally as its enough time to showcase a bus without the video getting boring but I like longer videos to listen to as background noise sometimes

Only ones I've had this year are 03&05 both been rapid

@@ryanstransport7574All the times i’ve had 7503 its been pretty slow, you might’ve had a fast driver. Also, 7505 had it’s fans on i bet.

@@NK53HHX 05 has had fans on for years lol

@@ryanstransport7574 It needs new fans, DB wont buy those parts so its stuck sounding awful unless the new company fixes it in april…

Rip 😂

@@ryanstransport7574 What are your favourite E400MMCs from each batch? I want to get more of them and want to know which are the better ones. Will be getting SK72CVR and SK72CVS on Saturday.

@@NK53HHX 17 plates are 44&50 by a country mile atm, 72s 74&66 are always decent, I've had 76 today and my mate had 75 yesterday, both been decent! I've had 7557 today too which was very good!

@@ryanstransport7574 Nice, will try get them next time I have the opportunity. Which are the worst of each batch too?

@@NK53HHX 7543,51 are an absolute avoid lol. 7563,64,72&81 I try avoid as much as possible too

Needs a new engine, the new one arrived in September but was used for a Durham County E400 instead so still waiting.

@@ryanstransport7574 That’s a shame, used to be rapid when i last had it

@@ryanstransport7574 Any expected time for 7555 to get back?

Would’ve been this y’know

Every one of them except 7558 has been on since transfering.

Gone on GDF yet?

@@spacecowboy151 Nah, but my mate has, apparently it’s alright, but not the best

Any fans are silent compared to 7505 🤣

@@ryanstransport7574 Blyth’s maintenance is terrible, 1504 broke down because of a kickdown today…

88 was definitely third best!

@@ryanstransport7574 Yep, that was an absolute beast.

Yeah they're refurbishing the seats but not the USBs. They've got the same style as the 72 plates but still have headrests. 7549 is every nice inside.

@@ryanstransport7574 Yeah, probably looks weird with the Dark blue seats with the Dark blue interior parts like on some NK14 Enviro400 Trident 2s

I’ve never had a roadworthy 7602 lol. Don’t mind this one,quite like 20-25 but can’t say I like many more.

@@ryanstransport7574 This at the minute this absolutely amazing, accelerates like mad & sounds amazing.

@@ryanstransport7574 Can’t say i’m not surprised about you not having any good 7602, it had a phase between September 2022-July 2023 of being an absolutely horrible, underpowered shed. I’d recommend to get 7602 now while it still sounds decent before they undoubtedly destroy it again.

@@NK53HHX I avoid them as much as possible lol. Don’t really like them tbh.

@@ryanstransport7574 Fair enough, I avoid the MMCs because most of them are either knackered or just nothing special

They all were anyway well before Belmont.

@@ryanstransport7574 Yeah, but they’re absolutely terrible now, compared to Ashington

Oops...

@@ryanstransport7574 Will they be Refurbishing these? I’ve heard from my mate the YJ58 E400s are getting done, but I assume these won’t be and will just be withdrawn soon instead

@@NK53HHX no chance of these getting done. I highly doubt the 58 plate E400s will be refurbed mind since they have been already in their lifetime

@@ryanstransport7574 I mean, Blyth are doing their NK57s next year. So i don’t see it as impossible

@@NK53HHX NK57s will be away to Durham to replace the ALX400s to die off for a year or two next year once the electric vehicles arrive. The chance of anything pre 2011 being refurbished is none - 1% chance.
