Lovely bus! What engine is it please?

At last a video on board a Midland Red S model. It's taken a long time and what a joy to travel on a true Midland Red for so many people living outside double-decker operations. Apart from Shrewsbury and Kidderminster most of my bus travel was on S6 and S10,12s. Thank you for this video and many more, please. Note how little rattling in the inside is a lesson for modern bus engineers as they rattle and bang like an old galvanised bucket full of nails.....bloody disgraceful considering the unit costs.☺☺☺☺

Victorian era steam was art with horsepower.

Oh hey, looks like it's the engines from the "Steamboy" anime!

Love to see the giants working. The UK, where the steam age began.

What does the small thing that spins around on top of a lot of steam engines do? It looks like a wind meter. Not sure how to describe it.

Are there any looms left?

Such magnificent sounds :) gorgeous

Had a ride a few years ago at the museum. It's like something I've never heard before, as unique as an Ailsa and you have captured it perfectly.

I was standing just to the left of your friend here. What a cavalcade!

my dad used to drive trolley busses for LT

I what month and year did this vehicle entered service?

Extended Bodies for Most of the Buses Much as I am not comfortable to ask the depot why they stopped running the London Suburban Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s on routes N26, 30, 121, 230, 271, 349, N279 And 158 why can’t we make the same make of the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Buses but Modernise the insides of these Buses. Also make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space for the wheelchair users. By the way, if you could remake and Modernise these vehicles could they also make it into a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Version’s that if it will be possible and to Modernise the insides of these Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a Little bit more so there will be more space and even a London Suburban Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more.

Could you put the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox in the Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and also put the Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox in the Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more and also turn most of them to a London Suburban Buses. By the way could you also make the routes N26, 349, 121, N279 and 271 into a London Suburban Buses and have a mixture of a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Version’s. Could they also transfer the Arriva Bus Depots from Hackney to Stagecoach company so they can replace all the Arriva buses so that all of them can go to Birmingham and Leeds and they can be replaced by Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also Extend the Middle body part of these Vehicles and that includes A Mixture of a Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 6LXCT Engine Northern Counties Palatine One and that Includes a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles A Little Bit More.

Hi Guy's my name is Mr C. T. Boxill-Harris I was wondering, why coudn't you find a nice fresh shiny Leyland Titan B15's and Repaint them to a Grey Green Color's just like the original Scania Grey Green's which were in the East London bus route's such as 125, 313 and also the bus route 103, if you guy would like to find about 11 Leyland Titan B15's, please could you Repaint them in the Exact Grey Green Bus Color's for us because it would be a Very Very Very Very Interesting Buses to see them Repainted to a Grey Green Color's and I'am a Big Fan of all of the Leyland Titan B15's😉😉😅😀😀😃😃

Wonderful sound quality - almost as good as being there. Thanks!

Love the 6LX sound - it is harmonious with the drop centre axle and SCG box. A tribute to the restorers is the relative lack of body rattle, unfortunately very loud in ECW bodies

Loved this ! The paint on the 218 Ashton bus . Beautiful .

Not bad for a 6LX RE, as due to their lower revs Lawrence Gardner,s 6LX lacks the vocal repertoire of a Preston Prima Donna you should know what I mean, yes cats and kittens ,A 680 LEYLAND!!! One Hundred Fifty Prancing Preston Ponies high on weed. A 680 RE sends bolts of electricity up my spine just to hear that Prima Donna,s booming exhaust rasp ,the SCG gearbox,and OH OH!!! those screaming transfer gears as backing vocals when the driver Mike Ede mashes the loud pedal.

Beautiful bus!

Great seeing the vehicles but if they are concerned about safety they should have one person giving instructions and hand signals, having two doing their own thing is a recipe for disaster.

,

Great vid! The Matador looks stunning!

Mancunian bodied buses , they were good to drive in service , especially on the 53 route .

Looks an amazing place 🙂 thanks for posting 👍

Back to my childhood daily transport in Birmgham 1970 to 1980 great times on the numbers 8 11 33 46 50 90 91 Bus routes my favourite SEAT was on the top deck right at the front !

That AEC Matador is beautiful, a treat in itself.

My first "ride" in this fascinating machine. Always wondered what it sounded like. Thanks for posting.

Wow qu’elle merveille!..

Super

Cummins V6-200 是老爺的環保引擎。

Very nice, Paul - what did mount your camera on?.

Beautiful.

Wonderful! Thank you for keeping history alive.

A very nice upload, that interior looks lovely. sounds like a pre-select gearbox too.

I was searching Castlejordan and found my beautiful family!

What a treat, i remember these buses and they were run by Rochdale not greater Manchester and run on time.

Absolute belter - that "nine six" sounds delicious

Very nice D132 box there - lovely sounds

Почему в Ванкувере нет маршрутного такси?

Are these Trolleys New Flyers?

Lovely shot, lucky that you had to be up early. I got it on the tour at Stafford with the 68 leading.

Almost began to sound like a Deltic!

I WAS a Rochdale conductor in the late 60s! This particular one is showing 17t, a Chesham Avenue turn back. And nearly everyone that got on tried to book through! Nobody ever read the front Destination board! Sigh!

Fantastic combination of engine/transmission sound; like nothing I've ever heard (in a bus anyway!)

in the late sixties living in Hyde Cheshire I remember an Experimental North Western Daimler with this engine fitted. I always waited in hope when I could catch a bus it was the one with this engine.. I was about 7 years old and I could tell the difference with the sound of the normal Daimler s and the one with this engine in.

A great sounding bus here although I am a bit young to fully remember these beauties. I have rode on some of these when they were still in service back in the 70's. I have ridden on 2976 and the old gal 1107 at Wythall on their trips. Great video of a well presented and kept preserved Guy

A bus from my youth as well

Great video of a great beast of fleetline & it is great to see this beauty back on the road after being a static display at Wythall for 25 years
