Unnerving sounds......

I was waiting on Evesham Road (Redditch) waiting for a 56/56A and the 26 came by. It was 18189 and it was making the most wierd unnerving of noises as was accelertating. Also I noticed it lacked a disabled ramp too, which i found bizzare as its a 54 plate and FMRs Dennis Tridents ALX 400 have ramps. Any way the sound of the engine was not good and if im honest i would think it lucky if it got to stratford as i thought it was going to give up the ghost; unless it had a hole in its exhaust system. If i had thought about i would have taken a vid and posted it so you could all hear it but it didnt sound right.

Poor acceleration and Unusual noises reported on the Alcester - Studley section from it too, if it was the 4pm-ish working then take note this would have been carrying about 60-70 school kids from Alcester to Studley and Redditch.
