A coach was involved in a fatal crash with a bike last week in London.
Coaches have direct vision and I tweeted the mayor about this but revived no reply.
We run both Dennis and Mercedes direct vision dustcarts merc is more reliable but both are horrendous on fuel due to torque converter auto transmission.
I’ve heard numerous complaints about the merc econic tippers from other firms local that have them and fuel economy been one but I’m told merc will be offering a amt power shift gearbox very soon which will help.
Big problem seems to be very poor dealer support and zero ability on a rough tipMy cousin saw this he can’t work out what happend ,the bus A1 archway at a funny angle across the road ,bike under front on opposite side of road though ■■
One I saw was at Mile End it seemed it hit bike behind right front wheel just before a island with lights on
