+1.

Each individual one had their own personalities. I remember those legendary journeys on the 27/35 in Kings Heath. Excellent.

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.

Very nice. Really nice shots. Do you mind if I use one as my Desktop background?

Personal favourite is the one on Clee Hill.

When we have 1292 on the road again, we'll definitely do 27 and 35 on a route tour as those were our local routes too!

That's what I'm saying!!

I remember a thrash on a Lynx on the rare working when it was on the 18. I used to sit right at the front on the 'sideways seats' over the front n/s wheel.

Remember the fake CCTV box behind the cab, you knew it had nothing in it as the hole for the wires was filled in or had wires leading to no where.

I hate time. I wish those days would just stay.

Count me in! I used to love the Lynxes being thrashed through Moseley on the 35 years ago, and seeing as it's my local route how could I resist :P

Approx how many people went on the Lance Tour - only in all the photos there seems a distinct lack of people!!
