What rev till it keeps gping into kickdown and the engine labouring? Yea all buses are like that arent they......

An engine wouldn't labour if it had changed down. It might be over revving, but that is the point of the downward change, to stop an engine labouring.

Engines on sb200's labour all the time tony even pulling away from stops

Labouring is when the revs are low in too high a gear for the road speed and the engine is not supplying enough torque, if a gearbox is working properly it will change down (or apply kickdown as some people call it - Kickdown is actually when the driver deliberately makes the gearbox change down, normally by using an extra stage on the accelerator pedal) If a vehicle has changed down and is high revving that is not labouring.

Well then what is it that sb200 do when struggling up hills etc and pulling off especially ( that volvos/omnlinks/other scanias/b7/b10s just about every other bus type don't) where the engine/voith struggles and makes a loud screaming noise?

No

[Bob]

Oh the rumour was the pye greens werent making enough to warrant them being on there

[BN]

Rumours, bless them!

[Bob]

True. Although in fairness the 25/26 are never really full. They could easily reduce the frequency without any major problems
