Buses I've Driven (in case anyone's interested)

[MW]

I make a note of every bus I've driven in service. Was just updating my notes, thought I'd share in case anyone is interested (I doubt anyone will be but hey!)

If any other drivers have a record, feel free to share.

What is your opinion on 2218

I actually remember that one specifically. Only one I managed to get the cooling fans come on.

[2206]

@Tony what was 2202 like when you had it on that private hire?
What's 2206 like @MW

I drove 2206 on its second day in service. On its first, it broke down not even an hour in service. When I had it, it broke down too. The alternator went. It was very underpowered. Must be repaired and like the rest now.

@MW Which type of bus for you as a driver is the best to drive?

@MW Which type of bus for you as a driver is the best to drive?

There's only five types I've driven here at AG. Easily I prefer the Gemini, but it has to be a good one. I am keen to try other vehicles like ALX/E 400s.

It's a good idea to keep a note of what you have driven each time you drive in case anything happens. Came in handy on my coach days when the boss came to me with a speeding ticket as it was my allocated vehicle. Quick check of the diary told me that day I was driving his allocated coach as it was a team coach lol. Guess who was driving mine!! It's a good arse covering exercise, as well as taking an interest too.

Thanks for posting - quite good to keep a log - what did you think of 4651? Thought it was excellent as a passenger yesterday.

I can't remember anything bad with that one so it can't be bad.

I've come to a conclusion on my most favourite bus out of all of them now. It's only imperfection is, sometimes the cooling fans can stay on a tiny bit longer than normal. 4637 is the one :D

[Liberator9]

@MW

Had 4637 before and that one was spot on - good choice!  :D

This will be the last one, but what was the best Scania you drove?

Yet to here the cooling fans on the 200MMCs - had 2203 the other day with the stop start which caused some remarks amongst passengers when it occured!
