And yes, the '5' in B5LH really does mean five-litre diesel (well, 4.7 litre to be exact). I just hope the leccy motors are big enough to power these big deckers (they'll probably weigh 11 tonne) as 4.7 litres pushing 11 tonnes sounds crazy to me.

Actully B5LHs are quite fast compared to the Enviro 400H

I'm still wondering if the Enviros will be a success in Wrexham, particularly once they start going into safe mode in Chester, and limping back at 25mph.
