Sunday 28-07-24 - Volvo Evora Bus 638 on the 100 Express route in Telford.
I had the pleasure of driving this stunning and powerful bus. Our depot has four of these 2023 models, typically running on the 60 route from Cannock to Lichfield. However, occasionally, when the Telford buses are in for repair or maintenance, we bring these Volvos over to cover the routes.
Known at the depot as the most expensive, most comfortable, and most enjoyable bus to drive, their lightweight steering allows you to steer with just your little finger. The suspension is so soft that it smooths out the highest speed bumps on the 100 route in Telford. These buses also feature blue ambient lighting for a relaxing atmosphere and offer very spacious seating and gangways with high ceilings. These are the best buses I have ever driven since driving the Platinum buses on the 87 route at National Express West Midlands.
Enviro 200Short, Bus 540 remains my favourite, though this bus 638 is not far behind.
