[Manchester] Bullocks Coaches Volvo B5LH 詳細介紹 (多圖)

小弟星期一貼左Bullocks coach既新車, 當日返家企查倒星期三係醫院有新車交接儀式, 梗係要去影啦。


Bullocks一共購入4輛Volvo B5L hybrid, Wright Eclipse Gemini車身。 據悉每部獲政府Green Bus Fund補貼10萬英鎊。當日出左3部, 2部做交接儀式, 1部正常載客。

小資料: Bullocks coach 現時只營運一條專利巴士線147, 來往市中心及醫院, 途經大學。大學與醫院都有資助巴士線。
個人意見: 一直都認為147這條通勤綫不適合用雙層巴士, 平時用單層omnicity, 得單門上落已經唔方便, 會走上上層的乘客應該不多。
多謝收看, 如有死圖會儘快處理, 相簿:

兩部車的車牌分別是BU11 OKS和BU11 OCX……特別投回來的？

BU. 发牌地区
11.  发牌年份
其他字母  顺序

應該係公共牌...
BU牌的確係man city.....

搭單問hosito兄,條線做一個單要幾耐?

BU is a Birmingham plate, fairly common amongst Volvo buses has Volvo as a dealer in Coventry. Manchester plates should start with an "M".

無認真計過, 大約一轉一個鐘。

Seeing these photos, I would like to ask if anyone notices the similarity of the design between the Volvo B5L/B5LH model and the Plaxton President demonstrator featured in the exhibition Coach & Bus 97.That demonstrator may be found in Yearbook 1998, and the bus is branded as a Volvo.

That President is a B7L. The only thing it is similar with the B5LH is the in-line engine mount. However, the B5's powertrain is obviously more compact (despite the motor and other hybrid gears), and it takes up less spaces in the cabin as a result. When you compare the photos above to the famed "toilet" at the back of a B7L, the difference is quite obvious:
