Leyland600:
Hi GOM a certain female Stagecoach driver in these parts certainly expects her crappy brand new Optare Solo to stop after a full flight downhill to a mini roundabout and then foot to the boards once more. New set od brake pads every week I guess !!!
With reference to your Guy Arab training Oily I wonder how some of these young uns would cope ■■?
Cheers Leyland 600.
Guy Arab’s ■■ never mind about the young uns, how would anyone cope with swinging the starting handle on a 6 LW in Dewsbury bus station in the middle of winter ? We had a special rope for the job, get the engine ‘ready’ two or three sturdy fellas on the rope and a quick swing. Worked most of the time but all too often it was “ring the lazy sods up, tell 'em to get some decent batteries down here and be quick about it” 
happy days
