GSI345 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Here's 2 full dublin bus spec ev class models Quote
Warbonnet Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Nice. I'm still unsure if I like the Enviro 400s or not. They're not bad but I do prefer the Wright option Quote
jhb171achill Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I can't understand the enormous handrails on the top front corners of those things.... Quote
josefstadt Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I can't understand the enormous handrails on the top front corners of those things.... Neither could I. Then somebody told me that they are in fact to protect the corners from being hit by overhanging branches, not for giants to hang on to! Quote
Warbonnet Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Neither could I. Then somebody told me that they are in fact to protect the corners from being hit by overhanging branches, not for giants to hang on to! Correct, more Dublin Buses could do with them. I see the newest deckers are getting branch defenders. About time. Quote
BosKonay Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Ah! That makes sense!! Stunning looking models! Quote
GSI345 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Well VT9 is Trialing them since October 2013 so perhaps it be rolled out over the whole fleet this year? Quote
Tarabuses Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 What's wrong with the old method of cutting back the branches? Quote
Warbonnet Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 What's wrong with the old method of cutting back the branches? they tend to grow back? I dont see the problem with having both, the defenders as a 'last resort' as going by the number of damaged roof domes to be seen on the Dublin Bus fleet the tree choppers can't always keep up .

Tarabuses Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Are you sure the damaged roof domes are only being caused by trees? Quote
Warbonnet Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Are you sure the damaged roof domes are only being caused by trees? Are you sure they're not being caused by trees? Either way the defenders will help limit damage going forward. Quote
