It'll be interesting to see how the MicroHybrids (Flybrids) go when they arrive, Doncaster have a batch coming and I'm not sure but does Captains post in Fleet thread mean that OG is having some too?

A point, these buses are not "flybrid" vehicles.. That term refers to vehicles fitted with the Williams / Go-ahead hybrid flywheel.
These are micro hybrid and have nothing in common with the above.

Agreed.

Too much repeating going on with these threads.

Just wish people would look at what's already been posted, and add to it, rather than posting long lists of their own, as it makes it harder to see what actually did operate unusually.

I think the confusion started when Wright did the press release with 47416. The vehicle was branded 'Micro-Hybrid' and the document was talking about the Flybrid system - referring to it as a Micro-Hybrid but at no point talking about the smaller energy recovery system (what 47416/the new Sheffield ones have), which now appears to be the one known as Micro-Hybrid.
