Mercedes 0405N

[Ash]

How come from 1560-1594 these buses are all S reg buses and then from 1595-1606 is goes back to R reg mercs then from 1607-1627 back to S reg. Was this down to when the buses were actually delivered and impacted on how they were registered.

The engines on the R reg series of mercs sound different to the ones that are in the S/T/V reg vehicles just wondered why that is, perhaps there nothing mechanically but the S/T/V reg mercs seem to accelerate more smoothly and less banging into gears not that im complaining as i think there great buses with lots of character

How many more years do we think the mercs are going to last?

Walsall will probably get them.

They finished off the Lynxes, didnt they!

I doubt it, not with the bulk of them currently being at PE and WA not having any currently

I can see PE keeping them till the end, although at the moment i can't see what will replace them.

Cascaded Omnilinks or more batches of B7RLEs one hopes

Well evidently it'll be Volvo B7RLE's surely? Prefer 0405N's but like the metros they don't last.

You will find that the Metros "Did" last?

Scania Alexander Deckers at BC
Volvo B6's
Volvo B10Ls

Those are the ones that didnt last.

The Metros do last! If they hadn't been scrapped en masse, who knows how many would still be going today? The ones at Green Bus are a prime example. I doubt many of the Tridents will still be going so strong at age 25

The Metro's only lasted as long as they did due to the major rebuilds they had at Marshall's which included rear end strengthening etc
