brammy777 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Those old bus pictures she puts up are just lovely, oozing pure nostalgia.I wonder if pictures from now will do the same?Actually ive had some 'interesting' experiances on buses round here lately.-An Alexander bodied Dennis Dart which stalled 9 times at my stop, it juddered when restarted like neutral wasnt engaging, and then even stalled going round a corner, nearly colliding with a parked car. No problems afterwards however, still weird though.Also a few of those Darts make a noise as if the air brakes have a leak in them, like a high pitched squeak every 5 seconds.Most of them are 14 years old now.

Split_Pin Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 These are now very, very rare, a front-engined Ford R1014. I only know of 1 North of Scotland example (and 1 Midland) in preservation, and even that will require a major resto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
