To be fair it'll be parked up in Hawkesley everyday, it's only a matter of time!

A few more 35s have been done now,
4725 - Florence
4724 - Belen (not a typo)
4723 - Alison
4721 - Annette

I wonder if someone of a mischievous nature will add a 'd' to the name on the back of 4724.
Kind of behavior that people had done to Dogpool Lane by Pershore Road.

Glad to hear that still goes on. People have been defacing the Dogpool Lane sign for decades; it used to happen when I went to junior school in Selly Park in the 1970s.

Anyway, apologies for the juvenile diversion. Back to Yarlwood garage...

Funny enough I saw both of those Presidents on the 76 - not that common on the 76 on a weekday.

I went on 4107 and the vibration is so hard I literally fell off my seat, a common problem in Presidents, also there is this "old" kind of smell on these buses.

I think you need to put a little weight on if vibration can make you fall off your seat. It is not a common problem on Presidents either

I rode 4107 the other day and it did make a weird sort of vibration when at idle; I can see where Ronnock1k8 is coming from. However didn't cause me to fall off the seat  ;D

Most Presidents I have been on have had this problem, what I mean is the vibration moving me out of my place, a bit like when a phone vibrates on a table, it starts moving from it's position.

Liverpool Street

Funny, I travelled on 4107 and never had any issues with idle vibration.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
