Vehicle Transfers

[Jack]

I love it when the cooling fans are on. When driving on tight roads with buildings, how it echoes with how you rev lol

4518 was a beast. They've fixed it now lol

I noticed last week. I thought it was another bus when I heard and see it go past. 4482 and 4504 are probably the best at PB for cooling fans.

Are the ALX that are moving to WB fitted with exhaust traps?

Yes the ALX400 moving to WB are fitted with exhaust traps and the ALX400 moving to AG are for use on non City Centre services.

It must be one of the new transfers as I don't think I've seen one in such a state before at AG.

There is a right heap of shit on the 1 today. The state of the bus is ridiculous. It's an ALX400 in the first version of the NXWM livery and it looks like it's come straight out of Syria.

Just as worse as the Scrappy Presidents? @MW

Some of the B7TL ALX400 look worse than the Presidents did, in my opinion.

Worse than the Plaxtons. The one I saw anyway. I didn't get the fleet number.

On the other hand, there's a prestine looking 4500 on the 37. Must be a recent one. 4506 is also on the 37.

Did you ever see 4033? That was horrible! Everytime I rode it, it rattled like mad, and the seats were REALLY tired.

I've driven that one. Yeah the cab rattled a lot. It drove me mad. I made up a fault to get it swapped for a Gemini once lol.

4506 was a good one at PB. 4529 is my favourite at AG, has a nice loud whine when it pulls away.
