Catford’s new smart-hybrids with stop/start tech but with an engine wanting for more torque. | Stagecoach London Enviro 400H MMC working the 136 to Grove Park.
My second time riding a smart-hybrid MMC was OK if not great. Seats are very comfortable but they move at about half the pace of an older E400H and this engine really needs more torque. You can tell when drivers need more throttle up hills or trying to exceed 20mph; the engine sounds strained. Not as bad as a Gemini frog or an Evoseti but pretty close.
YY18TLU (11006) is at Peckham’s Harris Academy bound for Grove Park via Lewisham and Downham Way. Based at Catford (TL) Garage.
