Hi Ben, are you a fan of hybrid buses?



This is the Alexander Dennis Enviro 400H hybrid diesel-electric double-decker. With a BAE Systems Hybridrive electric drivetrain featuring the Cummins ISB4.5 diesel and 195kW of electric power it's a quick, quiet, efficient bus that's significantly smoother under acceleration than older diesel-only examples.

Solidly a grade A+ bus

The gearheads in my family often idly muse building campervan conversions. If I were mechanically capable I'd look to the past.

Maybe an old greyhound?


Or a classic from the old country?


Or even a sacrilegious interwar conversion?

That seems like a very good bus and the seats look super nice. I'm wondering though, could we build some sort of baby containment area into a bus like that? Perhaps some sort of soundproof vestibule?
Screaming babies aren't a problem if you're already blaring banging choons from your headphones. That's a lil bushack for you, friend
