1743 on the 222 and I think its 2003 on the 81 :). 1743 sounds awful compared to the other mercs. Does anybody know what is causing the sound
Buses near me are the 4M,24,89,140,205,205E,208,241,289
                          Rowley Regis

Liverpool Street

4056 (I think...) on the 80. Is this normal or what?

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.

Its always sounded different to the other Mercs has 1743, there is no obvious cause it just comes with age i suppose

Theres a trident virtually every day on the 82 now

Its not normal as it breaks the emission zone rules. However, it has been on the 80 on the same board two days in a row (16.30 departure from WB).

Mentioned this in the PE thread but think it got lost in the nonsense going on in there, this was just a dreadful noise, far worse than normal, not sure what was causing it

7020 on the 71 this a.m.

Shape of things to come?  ;D

Omnilinks on the 71/72 aren't unusual Ossie they get a mixture of both B7's and Omnilinks :)

Hmm, I've always thought them a bit of a rarity, Rob ..... that said, just seen 7025 on the 71 today !!  ;D ;D ;D

Yes one board on the 3 is trident operated. What time did you see it though?

Maybe you just didn't spot 4001 as it has been on during the day (Saw it do the 15:25 departure from Wolverhampton)

Maybe I did Though!!
