I felt the Almex was a flimsy machine compared to the Setright.

Cool Volvo B9TL startup

Buttons on front of Ultimates allow double issue of ticket.

Just a FYI... The green/red setting isn't a lock function as such. On red you can issue a ticket by pressing the red button as you push the lever. On green, tippy don't need to press the red switch. Green setting was for one man operating buses where machine was mounted on cab door.

Do people still collect tickets? What with the short life of the image on thermal paper, I assume collectors have to scan them?

Gynn square

That filmed in 2018

Very interesting. The only thing missing was not showing the 2nd audit roll inside. used to be usefull if you forgot to set the pound counter back to zero and then had to prove that it was a mistake as the audit roll show a copy of all tickets issued. I used these machines back in the 90s :)

Thid was sadly scrapped a few months ago

Well done

It was certainly a wet day! Good that so many coaches and people did attend though.

Ho fatto il bigliettaio per 14 anni in Itallia a Savona negli anni 70-90 . L'ho usata tantissimo!!!

Good evening . I'm writing to you from Italy, I also own an almex like the one in the video. I would like to know how to open the mechanical part and disassemble the two covers, the upper one and the one on the control lever side

Nice

We always had a good laugh

You can certainly hear the MB200's 11.6 litre origins from a Leyland 0.680 (11.1 litre) engine 🙂

Wish these videos existed back when Striders were still in operation and Stainland had 537 538 and 539!

Is this a UK machine?

I can confidently say that you will never get the two part-machines completed. They are crazy mad thinfs to fix.

Who would have thought you would be driving one of these someday? Proud of you kid

Delivered to Manchester as part of the Commonwealth games fleet in 2002.

A great bit of design and engineering but... when they jam, you have problems. Need total stripdown. Probably easier to smash it to pieces with a hammer and buy another.

Great video how buses have changed. Very modern now

Great video very entertaining zac. Keep em coming brilliant

Zacs the best UA-cam guy around the next pewdiepie. Keep em coming zac great video, do some more vintage stuff

I own W806 DWX or 60846 has a lot of issues might be scrapped hopefully not but I will keep updates with town and district transport trust to let you know about the vehicle

That use to do the K5 in London before the K5 turned into a rear door operation

On loan to Sutton from Langley Mill!

Nice video

Noiceee!!!😎😎😁😁

You rode it twice at same day

Nice video

Mooie film, heerlijk geluid. (Beautiful movie, lovely noice)

Why are these like never more than one in service.

I'm going to ride this today

Full room tour next

GM had fare stage numbers from 001 to 999. These fare stage numbers are located on the keyboard using 3 green key bands. The two black and white wheels accessed in the side door are used for either a service number or a trip number. Some companies reversed this but found it impractical. This is an Almex model 'A' machine. 6 keybands - new in circa 1978.

Nice zach it's me the Yorkshire bus spotter your videos are nice

How to buy it

I have a machine who wants to buy it

Hi

The external red/green dot is a sort of safety trigger. On red I seem to remember you could issue a ticket without pressing the red knurled button. On green, it would allow tickets to be issued without this safety feature.

E200MMCs are going to HuddsQuick and KirkheatonQuick. I hope Transdev gets some good ones as a lot of MMCs aren't good up hills.

This is a nice vehicle. D1 has become really popular lately I think it should get a Frequency boost to every 15 mins. Also D1 may get exstended to Barnsley in October. If that's the case it should be every 15 mins to Denby Dale and hourly or half hourly on to Barnsley.

Driver on that looks a right idiot hope he gets sacked and has to sign on

Wowww

💯💯💯😎😎

Please upload more vintage Leyland comet videos

Hi zach is this route high numbered with customers

This has since transferred to First Essex at Basildon depot
