Ipswich Transport Museum's splendid 1938 Dennis Ace/ECW (a type known to many as Flying Pigs) returned to the road in 2019 after many years of painstaking restoration and is a credit to all involved. Although it carries the running units of D3 (CAH 923), it gained the body of D19 (DVF 519) while in museum care so now possess the latter's identity.

Special service operated as part of the Stroud Vintage Transport & Engine Club's Annual Gloucestershire Vintage and Country Extravaganza. First time I'd been and I seriously hope it's not my last. Cracking event with all manner of transport attractions and displays.

Manual gearbox Bristol RESL6G which ran for Eastern Counties from 1967 to 1981, This went straight into preservation with Eastern Counties Omnibus Society who transformed into the Eastern Transport Collection a few years later on achieving charitable status.

Great old busses, great to see them 👍
I am sat on the offside front seat! Loved that ride.Thanks for sharing - listen to the music from that 'D171' 5-speed box!❤❤
Did it have another higher gear when it cut off ?
❤ well only a coach to take us sailing or swimming or rugby bloody prevs
This Bus is Now with London Bus Museum in Weybridge Surrey inside Brooklands Museum from a long term loan from Stagecoach London West Ham Garage
sang this many times at the clock end, and then in the Layer Road end after we swapped ends at half time.
I love the sound of the engine in this Seddon coach. Very sweet running and it is quite fast too. They don’t make them like this today.
Love this! GH Watts used their other Seddon/Plaxton on the school run when I was at Bosworth College in Desford back in the mid 80's. That one was XJF130J I think.
Clunk it into gear Owen!!!
Is that a Perkins?
Yes v8 diesel Daimler roadliner had the same I believe or a Cummins v8
Better than a Bedford VAL70 for sure!! :-)
When I was a kid I went on a school trip to Switzerland on one of these coaches (from Ormskirk Lancashire) happy days😀
Back in the early 80's I drove a selection of Seddon coaches. A Van Hall 10m with I think a Perkins 510 and a back to front mounted Chinese gearbox. very interesting to drive. Then an 11m front engine crashbox with I think a Perkins 540. A lot of noise, not much go. A 10m Plaxton Panorama, again with a Perkins engine but I can't remember which one. Then finally A 12m Plaxton I can't remember which model body, with a beautiful Gardner 180 teamed with a 6 speed box. Smooth, reasonably fast but because of very poor steering lock, a bitch to drive in places such as Petworth.
Awesome engine sound! I remember those very well, travelled across the UK on them. Thank you so very much for sharing this fabulous memory.
same engines as the dennis rs fire engine - perkins v8 diesel
@@lucythemoggy1970and the Daimler roadliner also had the same engine
I like bedford buses for me ..
You obviously didn't drive them in service! Under powered with a lightweight chassis, I never liked them although the odd 1 or 2 were okish
Owen Phillips at the wheel. Nice bloke
Some great driving there. Gearbox can be interesting at times there. Just needed the LFS there
I remember this vehicle spec well, and experienced SELNEC's examples on the "Trans Lancs Express" where they replaced ex Manchester Corporation Bedford VAL airport coaches on the service. They were great when they were given their legs to run fast, but on interurban work, it seems not ideal, with all the stopping/starting and congestion.
"ROAD CLIPPER"
Beautiful coach ,but must be hot in there in the summer with all that glass
Don't like V8 diesels as much as six cylinders, but very interesting seeing a Plaxton on this chassis.
Simply superb, and a great position to film from
It's a long time since I've ridden on a Lodekka, Nigel. What's that extra mirror for in the centre? Presumably fitted whilst abroad.
I'd have thought that was acquired during 456's thirty-two years in Belgium, Peter. Very fortunate that I was in the right place as the decision was made to have an impromptu private spin around town.
@@LongJohnHill Very fortunate. It's not what you know, it's who you know, plus some luck!
@@BristolRE Sounds just like GNG125C
Norwich Electric Tramways , not Traction I believe, but thanks for the info and video.
Thanks Tim. Something of a cleft stick this one, as Traction was used in Terminus at times and also on page 60 of the Fleet History. The casting vote goes to the 50 Years book so I've amended it accordingly.
Glorious diesel engine. I was born and raised in a tin mining settlement in the 70s. Those were the days, in the middle of the night, in the stillness, one country mile away, a lone Seddon bus would be howling away along the main road to the bus depot. I can still recall the engine gasping and braking during downshifts and bellowing back on and on .....the buses are long gone. ....... Killinghall Tin Ltd
Perkins V8 510 sound
Thanks for the video, it is clear and has good audio too. The Seddon was my favorite bus. We had them in Barbdos. We also had Leyland Albion Victors and Albion Vikings.
Vgtr
Hi Philip you are right about those Seddon busses being fast you mean lightning fast,we as youngster here in Barbados love those Seddon busses to the bone especially the midnight run after theater on Saturday night to St Patrick, those Seddon busses were like formula one cars on these narrow roads here, Love to hear those Perkins V8 diesel engines growling through collymore rock wildey sargeants village Vauxhall and kingsland that ride home give you goosebumps man
Goose bumps. This is the sound I love from my younger days. A Seddon Bus. And it was fast too.
Great post for insomniacs! Have you got another video of the paint drying on main stantions!
The engine sounds looks like ISUZU JCR460 Bus
Love this. More please!
Plenty more gone up in the meantime!
Now looking :)
The Seddon engine got a different sound and rhythm on idle. Remembering my college days. From Mauritius.
Reading that has made my day. You never think when posting these how far interest might spread so many thanks for that!
Ali Ismael Yes, Savanne Bus Service & Triolet Bus Service had these. Savanne Bus Service had 2 Seddon equipped with turbo also!
Excellent!
I remember driving this Bus at Muller Road in the early 80's...It was always my favourite Bus of all the ones i ever drove on Bristol Omnibus. Always a big fan of The Bristol BVW Engine ...A Thumper !! It was perfectly set up and drove like a dream...i must admit i do miss driving these nowadays...i usually drive AEC Regent V's at Swansea Bus Museum..although i live in Somerset. Cheers...Steve.
My dad and brother used to work from Muller Rd. Dad drove, and bro was a conductor ! i used to like watching that old bus wash contraption as a kid..probably that was gone by the time you worked there. Much later in life, i eventually ended up driving buses myself ! Funny how that followed in the family !
It does run in some Families...Gets in the blood.
