Wasn't planning on filming since the bus was packed. But then when the bus driver announced that there is an option for the next bus or stay on board, the vast majority of passengers poured out whilst only 3 or 4 (including me) remained onboard. This one had a red ECU warning error. After 10 minutes of cooling down on a master reset, the electrical problems still carried on as shown in this video.

The Stagecoach Yorkshire's StreetLite HEVs I've been on are probably the worst I've observed and sampled so far. Having the loudest and most knackered OM934 engines at any given point and they all have some sort of electrical issues, especially that they're hybrids and regenerative-braking technology is pretty much finished.

I don't know how the First Sheffield HEV StreetLites are compared to these lot as I haven't had time to sample them. Maybe the ‪@andmorecentral9612‬ guy could help answer that?
