或者各位有機會坐小新批33xx時
留意一下上車尾一、兩排位0既地台
「升0左一級咁多呢?」(留意梯級0既字樣,好鬼搶眼~)

小弟相信矮版E400極有可能沿用呢個錯層設計
去偷呢一呎0既高度...
(不過,亦唔排除另一個可能:
換過副新歐5/6偈繼續上山頂...新車身都慳返)

嗰級應該得一吋？定係我get錯...

33XX就算換引擎都係解決唔到18年車齡限制嘅問題

Actually, when the bridge shouldn't be modified, why don't the Highways Department increase the height clearance by digging the road and lowering the road surface? I know that would cost quite some amount, but it is possible.

But anyways, back to the topic.

One point to add to the above: By the time when 33xx retire, Alexander Dennis might have developed a shorter variant (height-wise I mean) of this: the E400 Euro 6 http://www.alexander-dennis.com/product ... 400-euro6/ which fits the height clearance.

水晶球問題邊有人答到你呢

Also, since most of the buses in HK are ADLs/Dennis/Transbuses, I bet that ADL will be more than happy to make a super low-roof version of the E400!

Hello, my pal "hello_I_am_son":
It could be possible for ADL, but I wonder ADL could did that conclusion on Short-height E400 by the time those Tridents going to junkyard / our collectors' parking lots. NWFB needed to customize those 60 Short-height Tridents after NWFB got the franchise for Island bus services: and even getting those SFs (Short Wheelbase Fleetline, Height = 4.1656m or 13' 8") to serve Rt. 15 to the Peak.

In fact, if ADL could not carry that E400s out of the market on time - here I got my predictions:
(01) Getting some of those 33xxs some more years to operate from TD, getting those drawing-board personnel to hand their workable designs (probable); OR
(02) ADL tried to get those aged 33xxs back to England, and alike AVD1: replace those old chassis with a newer-build one (but sounded much more time to be prepared and really cost much more than replacing one). [And, of course, they needed to be re-examined before hitting on the road again. Risky but workable.]

Anyway, everything is still on the drawing boards. Who knows? Maybe that VDL newbie for KMB another possible answer for the Peak Service - if it didn't break like that poor Leyland Atlantean tested on that overheating route, during CMB did before. (BTW, would NWFB have that a try...?!)

Something to be reminder to "KMB AVBWU125" (I'm so sorry to hear your understanding to those terms for buses - confusing):
E400 is already a Super Low-Floor (SLF) bus like those 33xx Tridents (Ground to Floor in one step). Low-Floor (LF) is termed in 1970s for buses having a step before reaching the main compartment's floor (that's Ground, Step and Floor) (and you cannot roll your baby pram directly on those buses - you've to lift that pram over those steps and go for the standee's areas to park your pram - that's why people with wheelchairs dislike these buses).
Low-Floor Bus is named after that CMB Fleetline SF1 in 1970s first time, as well as Dennis Dart SLF appeared in 1990s (even they shipped to New Zealand afterwards - as ex-Citybus fleet buses) - with their ALX200 "Funny Smile" bodyworks.
So, SLF and LF is really officially terms from their manufacturers, named as Leyland and Alexander respectively.
More, Transbus is re-structured into Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) nowadays - the last British Bus manufacturer survived after WWII. (Did I missed that MCW which closed down in 1990s? Definitely.)

It would take a very long time and work to dig the road and lower the road surface, and since it's a single lane two way road, when the construction takes place it would cause a lot of congestions. Plus, I don't think the Highways Department is even bothered to take so much time just to lower such a short amount of the road for one bus company's buses to go through.
