Test Drive | Go-Ahead London’s electrifying ADL BYD

A year since Go-Ahead London’s Waterloo Garage was electrified, Gareth Evans test drives a BYD ADL Enviro200EV along a section of the 521 route.... read the full article here cbwmagazine.com/go-ahead-lond...

The fact these have been around for 6 years and we are only seeing more of them now astonishes me

[@Peter-mj6lz]

Seemed popular early 2020s. There is a new ev model this year from Alexander Dennis, the manufacturer. But it will probably be a few years till we see it in London.

Interssting clip: tha ks for sharing. I once had a ride on an Enviro400 EV which was quieter than that E200 seemed to be.

I love Enviro 200BYD EV buses there so quite

[@views-pm8jn]

he is trainee but good start i love eco green

[@cjstubejackofalltrade1551]

Them kids on that advert pic 😂

[@deeobey3034]

Quite like them, they are similar to the enviro 200 MMC non electric but they have different sound, the enviro 200 mmc has a lower sound and the enviro 200 mmc byd has a higher sound

[@ewanohun8124]

Can you imagine an articulated enviro 200 mmc in London, Maybe Alexander Dennis should make one

[@justask6921]

London has banned articulated busses.

[@junaid72085]

is this a route learning or new bus training

[@임진영]

마음우유❤️💛💚💙

[@Nill_v]

70's are fully electric

[@croydontramcabrides9767]

Bodyworks loose already. Like driving over cobbles on a permanent basis.

[@TransportCambs]

sounds different to any bus i've heard. doesn't sound as nice as an RE, or B10BLE though. any reason for the lack of seats?

[@AndyCreepy27]

It's mainly to do with the high passenger loadings on the 507/521, they're predominantly commuter routes between Waterloo and Victoria / London Bridge. Better to have more standing room at the front to allow quicker access on and off the bus, and from experience both routes are heavily used by passengers.

[@fetchstixRHD]

@@AndyCreepy27: Indeed, if you know about those routes, I'm sure they both used to be bendy buses (and very few people will use a long portion of the routes imo)

[@transportflick923]

I wonder what those Oyster Readers at the middle doors are for.

[@blackman-bp4tq]

Yes they are

Can anyone drive
The bUs?

[@robinsonosa]

Looks the same as the E200 MMC, but have different engines

[@robinsbusvideos]

yeah mate, this has an engine definitely

[@Peter-mj6lz]

The interior is a bit different, like facelifted to me.

[@London492]

😊

[@orig1nalfn91]

W15 uses these

[@londonbuses9651]

Not a lot of seats

[@thomasfluskey5922]

The reason for that is because the 521 and 507 used be red Arrow routes so you would have standing people and sitting people. I have no idea why though.

[@SLTyt]

@@thomasfluskey5922 Because they are commuter routes which are mostly used for short hops and not primarily for long journeys. Also increases capacity

[@xc_03]

@@SLTyt true like Waterloo isn’t that far from Victoria or London Bridge

[@kayderl]

Should have film with a GoPro or DJI Osmo Pocket that has electric stabilization. 🤣🤣🤣

[@carrefourcn]

我觉得路也很烂

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Urban roads in London are terrible because they must constantly be ripped up to fix gas plumbing, water services, sewage services, electricity or internet whenever any of those services fail or need component replacement. Also, some places have heating pipes. Unfortunately, they are not located in utility tunnels like in modern cities, because London is an ancient city.

[@jawadmalik4580]

Is this go ahead electric bus will they turn all their bus electric by 2030

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Me personally, I prefer fully diesel buses or Hybrids:)

Feeding the steering wheel annoys me.

[@transporter4060]

power steering is a joke, also this bus need a lot of space when turning becouse of long wheelbase.

[@tennyho3236]

Chinese bus fans actually hate BYD and name it ‘Boom Di’ or ‘Baozha (Explode in Chinese) Di’. Its terrible brake constantly fails and its undesirable acceleration dizzies passengers...

[@rikspring]

We have them too

They are very fine to work with, smooth driving,perfect breaks.
Grtz a bus driver from Holland🌷

[@unconventionalideas5683]

This is a BYD chassis under an ADL body, and it is the export version. We will see whether ADL continues that partnership or not...

[@CookieCft]

Diesels are better

[@fishdead7285]

Yeah they're really not

Explain logically why? Or this is a bullshit
