Paul S Winson ex Dublin Bus Volvo B7TL: AV152
An extremely nostalgic sounding AV! Luckily caught on the UoN shuttles.
This Euro II rarity began its DB career in Broadstone, before moving to Harristown when it opened in 04, then finally to Donnybrook in 2009 where it was withdrawn in 2014 and has since been with Paul S Winson of Lougborough

(Whiny ZF) NXWM - Dennis Trident (ZF): 4535 / BL53EDF
Переглядів 358Рік тому
One of the best tridents still in service. Similar to the other heritage liveried trident, this sounds very fresh and extremely smooth and nippy. But by far the best feature is the ZF, which when combined with the kickdowns used to tackle the hills of Dudley, makes for quite an enjoyable trip! It will thankfully last a while longer thanks to its Euro VI status, and is one of only 2 BL53 survivo...

Running on the September UoN shuttle is this characterful beast making all sorts of nice sounds. Although I love this one, it has always been noted as a more tired member of the AV fleet, living on the Tallaght routes and raking up well over a million miles on the clock. An alarm can be heard going off in the cab, and it's worth noting that this was recorded during the hottest day of the year. ...

Apologies for the bad camera angle. Nothing spectacular, but something nostalgic. Was pleasantly surprised to see this appear on the shuttle, but a bit gutted at how it was compared to what it used to be. This used to slip, have much more power, and just generally sounded nicer.

A (somewhat) modern bus worthy of upload is this beast. Has a whiny diff that is very reminiscent of how AVs sound when they have a whiny diff. The whines aren't as loud though and can be best heard when it idles or takes off. It does also have the other loud knackered diff sound. This is part of a batch that used to be hybrid but were converted to diesel. But unlike other diesel E400s, these h...

My third vid of this. One of the best NX buses in my opinion. It seems to have its kickdown disabled, but it doesn't need it as it's quite powerful and brilliant sounding without it. The other 2 vids of this featured very heavy kickdown, so the point of this vid is to showcase what it's like without it. Still epic! Just wish it didn't have all those annoying rattles..

Way up there as one of the best B7s in my book, now sadly withdrawn against new Streetdecks. By far the best feature of this is the loud growl, which the recording does no justice, and gets very loud as it reaches 50mph, which this vid showcases.

    Definitely one of the best left this, it’s had the Whiny ZF as long as I can remember but seems to perform better now than I remember a few years ago. On my last ride a few weeks ago on the 15, it was noticeable just how powerful it was that the gearbox could barely keep up under kickdown!
